Comment You don't need that much hardware (Score -1, Offtopic) 95

Each digit is one byte. 105 terabytes is easy enough to get on consumer hardware with 6 spinning rust drives and you only need them for writing - at SATA-III speeds the best spinning rust is ~500MB/s, so ~60 hours to fill up that much data. To calculate, you just need a simple machine that does the 22/7 calculation and has just enough space for holding results to two digits and continuing to divide by 7 each successive iteration on that enough times to keep that bandwidth requirement met.

Leave it to math nerd to not understand what hardware they truly need. 75 days and petabytes of storage when proper thinking and planning and understanding of the basic requirements would have been so much cheaper. They should have used first principles this whole process and obviously failed to do so.

"Please tell me which company can make the lenses that EUV machines use"

None, because EUV gets absorbed by pretty much everything, so they use mirrors in a vacuum.

"They cannot make the EUV machines. They cannot make the parts to build the EUV machines."

I've been there, you've obviously not. They have anything and everything they need, and if they do not, stealing it and copying it and understanding it and improving upon it is right around the corner - espionage runs rampant now days.

"How will a Chinese company make EUV equipment under sanctions when entire countries not under sanctions cannot make EUV machines?"

They 100% have the industrial capability to make the stuff themselves. Literal districts are dedicated to specific technologies, there's even one dedicated directly to semiconductors (as in literally 'Semiconductor District' is in the physical address.) They simply lack the knowledge to build the experimentation and expertise levels up. That's all they need to steal. Meanwhile, most other countries both lack an industrial base and an academic base, so they're non-starters from the get-go.
