Shen Qingqian, chief chip engineer, works overnight repairing equipment only to have a 100,000-yuan bonus deducted by the new director Gao Jianguo. Outraged, she resigns. Gao Jianguo promotes his niece Gao Min and colludes with industry swindler Wang Kai, pushing the lab to the brink of collapse. Shen Qingqian turns the tide with her technical prowess. After exposing the plot, she establishes Qianxin Studio. Leading her team, she breaks overseas tech blockades and develops domestic 7-nanometer photoresist, boosting independent growth of China’s chip industry. She wins the National Science and Technology Progress Award, sets up a talent fund in her mentor’s name, and ushers in an era where Chinese semiconductor technology leads the world.
