Chapter 1214: 1193: Mirror Workshop

The knockout that constrains holographic capability lies in glassmaking.

The knockout that constrains lens production lies in the diamond vapor deposition plating of the lens surface.

Once the vapor deposition coating can be resolved, holographic glasses are expected to explode in leapfrog yield.

After all, apart from the lens body, other electronic components inside the holographic lens will not be much harder to access than a second-generation phantom phone. Even it produces faster than a phantom phone, after all, it doesn't have as many electronic components inside as a phone.

The outside world was shocked by the sales myth created for holographic glasses. And wildly guess why holographic glasses suddenly ship in advance.

Shortly after the release of holographic glasses, many industrialists stood up and said that the holographic glasses technology was a breakthrough in the sky, and its appearance represented image display technology, completely entering the 3D virtual age from 2D.

Rumor has it that holographic lenses are more difficult to process than Intel's latest I9 processor.

Its production capacity is bound to be severely short-cut and, according to industry experts, it will take up to three years for holographic glasses to become universal throughout Warsaw.

The words of the industry experts are not totally unreasonable.

Holographic lenses, like the I9 processors, which represent the most advanced semiconductor technology, are processed similarly, although the product properties are quite different.

The I9 processor is made from a single crystalline silicon chip to an eighteen-core top-level processor. There is more to the process than holographic lenses. They are also subjected to processes such as photolithography, ion injection, insulation, deposition plating, etc.

However……

The most complex part of the I9 processor in terms of technical processes is photolithography, so long as the problem is solved, once the other process breaks through, even these semiconductor plants in Huaxia can blow up the world.

The holographic lens body, every process difficulty, goes beyond the photolithography steps of the processor.

Normally, industry experts predict that the giant animal industry will take three years to fully spread holographic glasses, which is a very optimistic view.

The result is that Giant Beast Industry doesn't play cards as usual.

Whether it's a monocrystalline silicon chip used to make a chip or a panel used to make the latest generation of OLED monitors, there's a dimensional problem.

Monocrystalline silicon tablets are now dominated by six-inch and eight-inch, twelve-inch oversized monocrystalline silicon tablets and are among the top technologies monopolized by only a few factories. In the panel industry, the quality rate drops dramatically when the size exceeds sixty inches.

Industry people also estimate the mirror production capacity of the Giant Beast Industry based on this.

Everyone knows that larger silicon sheets or display panels can dramatically reduce production costs and greatly increase production efficiency.

Assuming a chip is made from a six-inch monocrystalline silicon, the light engraver can engrave the integrated circuit required for twelve chips on a six-inch monocrystalline silicon at a time. With an eight-inch monocrystalline silicon chip, you can carve twice as many integrated circuits in one go.

Same process, same time, double capacity.

Of course, the silicon sheet material production process has to be multiplied several times.

……

In Longxi Beach factory.

A square factory constructed entirely of pure white sealed light steel structures, situated in it.

Apart from the gate, there are no signs of cracks on the surface, not even a window.

This is a 100-class dust-free factory.

Factory dust-free grades are usually expressed in millions, hundreds of thousands, ten thousand or so.

The smaller the number, the higher the dust-free level. One of the highest in technology manufacturing, Class 100, is typically used only in chip-lithographs and in top biotechnology companies' sterile manufacturing workshops.

The Giant Beast Industry, which is 100 scale, does not represent less than 100 pieces of dust per cubic metre of air in the plant with a diameter greater than or equal to 0.5 μm.

There are not even ten of them here, and the hundredth grade is only marked because the highest universal acceptance standard is the hundredth grade.

This is the mirror production workshop for holographic glasses.

There's no one in the building right now.

No one in the plant meant production was shut down, but this rule did not work in the Longxi Beach plant.

Through this fully sealed light steel plant, every corner of the interior is illuminated by a shadowless lamp onto a fiber-free, pure white ground, pure white equipment. This is a space that seems to have no color other than white.

Inside the plant, as if it had autonomous life, every piece of equipment operated here.

The five most eye-catching pieces are connected in parallel, with a single tower-like device of more than five metres in diameter. They are connected, like a circuit board, five capacitors at extremely regular angles, connected side by side.

A pure, transparent liquid, like an angel's tear, was dropped on the workbench of the first round tower equipment through a piped robot.

The metal on the upper side of the workbench then slowly descends, and when it shows a surface as smooth as a diamond slice, in contact with this group of pure liquids, the metal on the upper and lower sides of the workbench rotates instantly.

At this moment, the otherwise calm equipment seemed to turn into a hurricane eye, and even the surrounding air became agitated.

After dozens of seconds, the metal on both sides of the workbench melts almost together. When the metal moves away slowly, a flexible transparent panel that cannot be seen with the naked eye appears on the workbench.

Assuming you make a chip out of six-inch monocrystalline silicon, you can engrave twelve chips at a time.

How many holographic lenses can you make to display a lens with a two-hundred inch display panel?

Five hundred and seventy-seven monolithic lenses can be cut out and two hundred and eighty-eight point five holographic lenses can be made.

Less than five seconds after the panel, which was not visible to the naked eye, was sucked away by the robotic arm, a clear liquid of the same size was injected onto the workbench and another process cycle began. Five vacuum centrifugal towers, representing five layers of different panel materials for holographic lens bodies.

The five panel-colored materials were finally pressed together and fed into the vapor deposition equipment for diamond coating.

With 20,000 carats of high-purity raw drills, the real air phase deposition furnace can continuously vaporize these raw drills with a high-energy laser, and allow them to adhere evenly to the mirror surface with a particle diameter of zero point five nanometers.

When holographic lens body capacity is not limiting.

The entire Longxi Beach plant enters the busiest phase, giving way to holographic glasses for all production tasks.

Three days before the movie "Drifting Cities: Rise" came out.

11 million holographic glasses shipped from Longxi Beach Factory.

The following day, two production lines, arranged on an emergency basis half a month earlier, were officially put into production.

Shipments amounted to 36 million.

One day before the movie came out, the shipment was close to 4 million.

When the movie was released in a few hours, more than 26 million people had holographic glasses throughout Huaxia.

And by 24 o'clock, nearly four million holographic glasses will be delivered to long-awaited users.
