Chapter 533 What does it mean to treat a boat like a yacht?
"But..." Jack wanted to argue, "It's too unusual for so many family members of sensitive scholars to leave the country at the same time, and their destinations are all in China."
If this involves brain drain, we cannot bear that responsibility!
We should report this to the National Security Bureau and have them investigate.
Davis's face instantly darkened.
After all, he was the one who received the money and signed the document, and now this little beast actually wants to…
"Jack, you've only been with the company for two years, and there are many rules you don't understand."
Let me teach you a lesson: do your own job well, and don't meddle in things that aren't your business.
These applications have all been instructed to proceed from above. Just follow the signing process obediently and don't make things difficult for yourself.
After all, he was still the department's go-to scapegoat, and he was unwilling to let him get away with it so soon...
"Above? Which above?" Jack suddenly felt a surge of impulsiveness; the prize pool was still piling up...
If he uncovers this industry chain, wouldn't that plug a huge loophole for America, and he could then use that as an opportunity to get a promotion and a raise?
He might as well take Davis's place.
If Davis knew his thoughts, he would definitely let him experience the unique characteristics of America; capable people often do so...
Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask.
Davis waved his hand. "Go on out, get back to what you're doing."
Remember, doing more and talking less won't do you any harm.
Hearing these words only deepened Jack's doubts.
After all, he had only recently graduated from university and was still full of enthusiasm, his mind filled with rules, regulations, and national security.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt there was something wrong with this; someone must have taken bribes and violated regulations by allowing the money to flow freely.
Back at his workstation, he hesitated for a long time before finally gritting his teeth.
After all, as an auditor, he couldn't allow the interests of the United States to be harmed.
So he secretly compiled more than 30 unusual applications into a detailed report, attaching flight itineraries, academic backgrounds, and loopholes in the approval process, planning to anonymously send it to the Department of Homeland Security's internal whistleblower email address after get off work.
He knew he was doing the right thing.
Moreover, he has some common sense and knows he can't use the company computer to send it, since it's being monitored the whole time.
But he's not very bright...
After all, Davis's computer was displaying the surveillance footage from the Czech workstation.
Looking at the report he had secretly compiled, he instantly realized that this boy could not be allowed to live.
"Hello, it's me."
"What's going on over there? A new kid noticed something's wrong and wants to report it."
"...Yes, he's just a hothead. We were going to make him take the blame, but he doesn't understand any rules..."
"Okay, I got it. Clean things up properly, don't leave any loose ends."
"Don't worry, no one will care about a newcomer. After all, if someone is feeling down, they'll probably be a little upset."
After hanging up the phone, Davis glanced at Jack, who was still working hard on the screen, and silently prayed for him before God.
I hope to be a smart person in my next life.
It wasn't that he was targeting him; after all, everyone in this industry tacitly agrees to do things for money, but some people just want to be the first to stick their necks out.
Wanting to be in the spotlight comes at a price.
When Jack left work in the evening, he carried his briefcase into the underground parking lot.
For some reason, the streetlights, which were working perfectly before, are now flickering on and off.
Moreover, he always felt that someone was following him, but every time he turned around, there was nothing behind him except his own shadow.
He shook his head, realizing he was being too nervous. It was just a whistleblower email; what could possibly happen?
He opened the car door and got into the driver's seat. Just as he was about to fasten his seatbelt, the door behind him was suddenly pulled open.
Two tall men wearing masks squeezed in, and a towel that smelled of ether was suddenly covered to cover his mouth.
He struggled a few times, then quickly lost consciousness.
…………
The following morning, the FBI contacted Davis, and after some discussion, the incident was classified as an accidental death.
As for why this junior employee went to the lake and why he suddenly slipped and fell into the lake.
The conclusion, it turns out, is that he himself enjoys swimming? And he treats his car like a yacht?
In short, this incident was classified as suicide!
Of course, there were people who questioned this matter, but... all those who raised questions were suppressed.
…………
On the other side, when Li Qing placed Brooks's employment report on the approval desk, Shen Fei hadn't even finished his meeting with the Transsion Research Institute team when the dedicated phone on the desk rang.
It was a call from the MStar lithography machine R&D team.
The person on the other end of the phone seemed quite happy; after all, laughter could be heard intermittently when Shen Fei answered the call…
"Chairman Shen, the immersion DUV whole machine has passed the verification and can be mass-produced at any time."
Furthermore, Transsion's quadruple exposure technology also passed the test.
Transsion has also mastered the corresponding quadruple exposure technology for immersion DUV lithography machines...
Then we can easily produce 10nm, 7nm...
Unfortunately, to go further, an EUV lithography machine is still needed.
However, this breakthrough in the project was a big deal, so he immediately called Ren Zhengfei. As for the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology... the project team would notify them.
After all, Morningstar Group has been a state-owned enterprise from the very beginning.
On July 4th, the group arrived at Morningstar Industrial Park.
The park is located at the foot of the mountain and is surrounded by green belts. Its security level is comparable to that of a military industrial unit, with a guard post every 50 meters.
Vehicles entering and exiting must undergo two security checks.
After getting off the bus, the group went to the changing room to change into full cleanroom suits. After a series of tests, they entered the research and development center.
In the R&D workshop, a precision machine nearly two stories high sits quietly in the center of the workshop. Its silver-gray body is covered with pipes and optical modules, and some staff members are doing the final calibration.
On the machine body, it still bears the name MStar 14A, yes, the same naming as ordinary DUV lithography machines...
"Distinguished leaders, General Manager Shen, General Manager Ren."
We were greeted by Chen Jianming, the chief engineer of the immersion DUV lithography machine:
"I'm a tech person, so I won't waste time with unnecessary chatter."
Upon hearing this, all three nodded, but the Minister of Industry and Information Technology feigned anger and said:
"Old Chen, are you trying to sow discord between me and General Manager Shen and General Manager Ren?"
After saying that, he laughed and then said to the two people next to him, "Old Chen and I were high school classmates, and later we went to the same university, but we didn't study the same major."
Upon hearing this, Chen Jianming quickly coughed:
"Alright, let's stop talking, or our secrets will be exposed."
This is the V-lithography machine that we developed simultaneously.
The core 193nm deep ultraviolet light source, nanoscale workpiece stage, and motion control system are all 100% domestically produced, with no single component restricted by the Wassenaar Arrangement.
The Minister of Industry and Information Technology carefully examined his friend:
"Are you sure? Are you sure this is 100% domestically produced?"
Although he had already seen it on a DUV machine, he still couldn't quite believe it when it was on this machine.
After all, the two technologies are not even in the same league.
