“Uncle Ye, didn’t I call you right after 1 finished my work yesterday morning?” The next morning, Zhou Chao called Ye Zhengfeng, but as soon as he mentioned that he had arrived in Peng City yesterday, he got a scolding!

“Your reasons for calling are always the same. What should I say about you? Can you find a more decent excuse next time?”

“But I really had something to take care of!”

“Alright, i know you’re a busy guy. Tell me, what’s the reason for your call?” Ye Zhengfeng also knew that if Zhou Chao didn’t have a genuine reason, he wouldn’t rush to Peng City like this.

Zhou Chao hesitated for a moment in his heart before speaking, “My semiconductor fabrication plant has been completed, and 1 want to hold an opening ceremony. I was wondering if you could come and cut the ribbon, and also provide some guidance on the work.”

“Cutting the ribbon? I’m afraid it’s not as simple as that, is it? I don’t know what tricks you have up your sleeve, but in plain terms, you want me to be a figurehead. You’re quite cunning!”

Zhou Chao’s worries were laid bare, and he couldn’t help but laugh.

“Hehe, Uncle Ye, your insight is as sharp as ever!”

“Stop flattering me. When you’ve confirmed the timing, give me a call a day in advance so I can make time for it.” Ye Zhengfeng didn’t know Zhou Chao’s ulterior motives, but he was willing to help him regardless.

“Alright, Uncle Ye, you can rest assured!”

“You cheeky kid, I won’t talk to you anymore. 1 have work to do!” After saying that, Ye Zhengfeng hung up the phone.

Zhou Chao lay on the bed for a while, then called out to the outside, “Lin Wu, come in!”

“Boss, what can I do for you?”

“Deliver a USB drive to Zhou Jilong. He knows what it’s about. Also, have Wang Feng accompany him. He must keep this USB drive with him at all times!” With that, Zhou Chao got up, reached into his bag, and casually pulled out the USB drive containing Semiconductor Wafer Manufacturing Technology from the system space.

“Here you go, keep an eye on it!”

“Yes, boss!” Lin Wu took the USB drive with great seriousness, then turned and called for Wang Feng to leave the Hilton Hotel and head to the semiconductor fabrication plant.

They rushed all the way, and by the time they arrived at the plant, it was nearly 11 o’clock. Lin Wu took Wang Feng straight to the research institute.

Zhou Jilong, who was reading documents in his office, looked surprised when he saw Lin Wu and asked, “Why are you here, and where’s the boss?”

“He’s at the hotel. The boss asked me to bring you something important. He said you’ll understand it as soon as you see it. He hopes you can complete it as soon as possible. Also, the boss arranged for Wang Feng to accompany you, and you must keep the USB drive at all times!”

Upon hearing this, Zhou Jilong immediately stood up, walked over to Lin Wu, and eagerly said, “Where is it? Show it to me!”

Lin Wu took the USB drive out of his bag, but Zhou Jilong snatched it away immediately. He then rushed to his own desk, opened his laptop, plugged in the USB drive, and began working with swift and precise actions.

Before long, Zhou Jilong buried himself in the documents, and his facial expression gradually changed, eventually breaking into hearty laughter!

“Hahaha, the boss is truly amazing! Lin Wu, go call Xiong Lao and Chai Lao. We need to start our research immediately!”

Lin Wu now understood what the boss had entrusted him with. He turned and walked outside, while Wang Feng, who had somehow already appeared by Zhou Jilong’s side, observed his every move. However, Zhou Jilong was not bothered and remained focused on the computer data.

Soon, the sound of running footsteps echoed in the corridor, and with a bang, the office door was pushed open!

“Lao Zhou, I heard from Lin Wu that we can start the research right away?” Xiong Lao looked ecstatic as he gazed at Zhou Jilong.

“Yes, I’ve checked the data. As long as we follow the process, it won’t take more than 3 days to produce the finished product!”

“Let me see!” Both Xiong Lao and Chai Lao approached Zhou Jilong to examine the data.

“Alright, we have plenty of time to review it later. Our immediate task is to produce the finished product!

Lin Wu, you go arrange the raw materials, and we’ll start the experiments immediately!”

“Raw materials? What raw materials do we need?” Lin Wu looked puzzled as he glanced at Zhou Jilong.

“High-purity polycrystalline silicon, also known as polysilicon!”

“Where do I find this stuff? I’m not familiar with it at all!” Lin Wu was completely baffled when he heard the name, as he hadn’t heard of it recently.

“Go to the previous research institute and find Director Cao. Ask him to bring a batch of high-purity polysilicon chunks from the warehouse. Tell him it’s my request and it’s urgent!”

“Alright, I got it!” Lin Wu grabbed his car keys and hurriedly rushed out. Meanwhile, the tech experts huddled together, carefully studying the data on the computer.

Time passed slowly, and before they knew it, it was already 1:30 in the afternoon!

“Gurgle!” The once-quiet office suddenly made a sound, and the three who had been engrossed in the data couldn’t help but look at Wang Feng, who was nearby.

“We didn’t notice it was already 1:30. How about we go have lunch to recharge, and in the afternoon, we’ll be more motivated!”

“Yeah, that sounds good. Let’s go eat!” They all stood up, and stretched their backs, feeling a bit tired after a long period of desk work.

Zhou Jilong shut down his computer, carefully removed the USB drive, and placed it inside his bag. Immediately, they all headed outside.

As soon as they stepped out, they ran into Lin Wu, who was carrying bags of food.

“You haven’t eaten yet, have you? 1 brought some food for you!” Lin Wu handed over the bags to Zhou Jilong and the others.

“How did you know we haven’t eaten?” Zhou Jilong looked at Lin Wu with a puzzled expression.

“Could you eat peacefully without finishing the data that concerns you so much?” Lin Wu replied, and Zhou Jilong and the others chuckled.

“You’re talking too much. Let’s eat first! Lin Wu, did you bring back the raw materials?”

“I’ve already brought them back. They’re in the car. We can move them when it’s time for the experiment.”

Zhou Jilong nodded in response, and without saying more, he and Xiong Lao and Chai Lao had their meal. They discussed the key points excitedly during the meal.

Eventually, after eating for about an hour, they stopped the discussion.

“Alright, we’re full now! The three of us will go over the process once more and then head to the factory for the experiments.”

Zhou Jilong took out his laptop, inserted the USB drive, and they began studying again. This time, it didn’t take long, just about half an hour, as they simultaneously watched and recorded the critical aspects of the manufacturing process.

“Okay, let’s go!” Zhou Jilong stood up with excitement, his eyes filled with hope.

After storing the USB drive, Zhou Jilong led the group to the factory. Lin Wu used a cart to transport the raw materials into the storage area. Then, the group went through a series of cleaning procedures and finally put on protective suits before entering the inner area.

“For the first time, the 12-inch wafer manufacturing experiment begins!”
