The World's First Hospital: I Build A Palace Of Medicine

Chapter 156 Western Technology Blockade, Galaxy Companies Sanctioned?



March 18.

The U.S. Commerce Agency issued a statement.

Using "technical network security" as an excuse, they included a series of institutions and companies in the Xia Kingdom into the entity list, which will restrict the export, import, or re-export of these companies.

The following is a specific list.

Galaxy Medical Devices Group (high precision instruments).

Galaxy Medical Technology Group (Artificial Intelligence).

HKUST Xunfei (Artificial Intelligence).

National University of Defense Technology (University).

Northwestern Polytechnical University (university).

Yanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics (university).

National Supercomputing Yangcheng Center (Supercomputer).

Xiaguo Electronic Technology Group has 8 scientific research institutions (electronic information).

Huawei Technology Co., Ltd. has 46 non-US affiliated companies (communications).

There are many companies in this entity list.

Emerging technologies such as design biotechnology, artificial intelligence technology, microprocessor technology, advanced computing technology, quantum information and sensing technology, advanced materials, brain-computer interface [all are prohibited.

The most notable of them all.

Undoubtedly, the two Galaxy companies have been included in the "Entity List" for export control.

All major American companies, as well as companies that have business dealings with the "203rd" allied countries, have received specific bans.

1. Immediately prohibit the import or re-export of medical devices from Galaxy enterprises.

2. All existing or new galactic enterprise orders must be suspended or terminated.

3. Stop visiting the Yinhe enterprise electronic procurement website and prohibit access.

4. Completely prohibit galactic companies from purchasing chips globally.

5. It is completely prohibited to use the medical devices of Galaxy enterprises.

As soon as the statement comes out.

The domestic Internet immediately exploded.

In 2019, Huawei was included in the Entity List.

They were outraged at the time.

Computers are the infrastructure of the new era and belong to the steel guns that guard information security.

For digital infrastructure, the most important thing is communication and computing power, that is, 9G and chips.

Who can occupy these two fields.

It will become an indispensable force in the digital landscape in the next few decades.

And Huawei Company is leading the world in the field of 5G communication, has the world's largest number of 5G patents, and has already stepped into the future with one foot.

The United States couldn't wait to sanction Huawei.

Now, even galactic companies are included in the entity list.

on major social media.

Netizens are cursing.

"Damn, the West has imposed a technical blockade on us again!"

"Their methods have made me vomit. Last year, they sanctioned Huawei, and this year they sanctioned Galaxy Enterprises."

"They are already scared! That's why they desperately want to sanction us. We are strong, and they start to panic."

"To be more precise, what they want to kill is not dozens of companies, but the entire high-end technology industry of Xia Kingdom!"

"Yinhe Pharmaceutical Group and Yinhe Traditional Chinese Medicine Group also belong to the field of biomedicine, why aren't they sanctioned?"

"If you don't take the medicine, you will die! If they want to sanction Yinhe Pharmaceutical Group, then all patients in the United States will not agree!"

"That's right! Yinhe Pharmaceutical Group's new drug is the only one in the world. They dare not sanction it."

"Then what should we do now? Enterprises in the Milky Way cannot purchase chips globally. But in the field of medical equipment, high-end chips are very important!"

"Weakly ask, can't Galaxy companies buy domestic chips?"

"Upstairs netizen, you are really a newcomer, let me give you a detailed science introduction......"

at the same time.

Galaxy Medical Devices Group.

Large conference room.

The high-level members of the group all had very ugly expressions on their faces.

As a Fortune 500 company, it is undoubtedly a very heavy loss that it cannot import products to the United States and its allies.

However, the more terrible thing is the chip problem.

No slices.

The group will not be able to produce high-end medical products and can only stand still.

The high-tech world is changing rapidly.

After two or three years of standing still, the group was caught up and even surpassed by other medical device companies.

On the high platform.

Group CEO Assistant Xue Hongyu is explaining the PPT.

He said loudly: "Galaxy Medical Devices Group is now facing the same difficulty as Huawei, which is the lack of high-end chips.

Galaxy surgical robot, Galaxy photon counting dual-source CT, Galaxy 7T magnetic resonance system, Galaxy gene sequencer, Galaxy dynamic ECG monitoring system and other medical equipment all require a large number of chips.

As soon as the US ban came out.

We cannot purchase chips from all over the world and can only rely on domestic semiconductor companies.

TSMC is currently the strongest fab on the surface, with a 5nm process chip production line, but they will not produce chips for us.

SMIC has a 14nm process chip production line, but they use the solution of Applied Materials of the United States in the thin film deposition process, so they cannot produce chips for us.

China Microelectronics can produce chips for us, but their technology is a 28-nanometer process chip production line, which cannot be called a high-end chip.

Hua is HiSilicon, which is in the forefront of the world in the field of chip design. But they are only chip designers, not producers. "

The voice fell.

Everyone looked dignified.

Domestic lithography machines are too backward to produce high-end chips, so they are limited everywhere.

But all electronic products are inseparable from chips.

Yinhe Medical Devices Group encountered the same trouble as Huawei.

The form of the enterprise is at stake!

Xue Hongyu pointed to the screen and said: "The world's top chip manufacturing process, every process is firmly in the hands of companies from various countries.

Lithography machine: Asmer (Netherlands), Nikon (Neon).

Track: TEL (neon country), screen (neon country).

Ion implantation: AMAT (US), CITIC Technology (Xia).

CVD: TEL (Neon Country) North Huachuang (Chong Country).

PVD cleaning: DNS (neon country), screen (neon country), Shengmei (country).

CMP: Ebara (Neon Country), Huahai Qingke (US Country).

ETCH: TEL (Neon Country), China Microelectronics (Xia Country), North Huachuang (Xia Country) mattson (Xia Country) APTC (Kimchi Country), Hitachi (Neon Country)………

Diffusion: TEL (Neon Country), Hitach (Neon Country), North Huachuang (Xia Country).

Defect measurement, OCD/Thickness measurement: Hitach (Neon), Magic City Ruili (Xia Guo "Zhongke Zhongguo").

in summary.

Our Xia Kingdom really does not have an advantage in the field of chip manufacturing.

Other processes are fine.

Only in the field of lithography machines, Xia Guo has never made a big breakthrough!"

hear this.

Group CEO Shen Yu frowned.

They are all galactic companies as well, but in fact, there are high and low points.

No country dares to impose sanctions on Yinhe Pharmaceutical Group, because patients who do not take medicine will die.

However, Yinhe Medical Devices Group is far from having such influence.

Patients do not have high-end medical equipment, and they can use slightly inferior equipment, which does not necessarily kill them.

After a moment of silence.

Shen Yu stood up, looked around the crowd and said: "In the past, chips could be bought easily, and various companies had the idea of ​​'making it better than buying it'.

After the implementation of the chip ban, various companies began to wake up.

If the supply of chips cannot be controlled by oneself, the supply may be cut off at any time.

From now on, the group will invest 10 billion yuan in the field of chip R&D and production. "

Hearing this, everyone nodded.

Technology without borders is just a pretense, with its own chip research and development and production department, it will not be stuck!

Shen Yu continued: "The United States is trying to use the long-arm management method to completely block our Xia State enterprises.

This shows that they are really in a hurry.

As a world-class medical device group.

Galaxy Medical will not be intimidated by any difficulties.

Just like what we have achieved in the field of high-end medical equipment.

In the field of chips, we can also grow from weak to strong, and finally stand on top of the world!"

The voice fell.

4.4 bursts of applause.

Everyone's lost interest disappeared in an instant.

Shen Yu's words rekindled everyone's confidence and hope.

"Jingle Bell.………"

An abrupt cell phone ringtone suddenly rang in the meeting room.

After everyone looked around, they found that it was Mr. Shen's call.

Shen Yu glanced at the caller ID and found that it was Qiu Yu, CEO of Yinhe Medical Technology Group.

He answered: "President Qiu, I'm in a meeting here, what's the matter later..."

The words are not finished.

Shen Yu excitedly said: "What?! You have developed a 2-nanometer process Galaxy extreme ultraviolet light EUV lithography machine? The chip can be mass-produced?! Some teams are even developing a 1.4-nanometer process?! No way?"

meeting room.

Everyone kept their voices calm and listened to Mr. Shen's phone call.

What to say on the phone.

They didn't hear very well.

But faintly heard.

Yinhe Medical Technology Group has developed a lithography machine with a 2nm process technology!

In an instant, everyone was extremely excited.

There is no place to find when you break through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it.

The high-end chip they are thinking about is originally in Yinhe Medical Technology Group!.
