The world's most important tech company

Today we're talking about one of the most important machines in the world that you've probably never heard of. It has only been sold around 140 times and costs 200 million dollars each. There is only one manufacturer of these machines, on which all countries worldwide depend. If the machine has to be shipped to other countries, it needs 3 Boeings 747, 40 freight containers and 20 trucks. It works so precisely that it could practically hit a coin on earth with a laser from the moon. I'm talking about the machine that makes it possible to produce the world's most advanced microchips. This video explains how it works, why the whole world depends on it and what conflicts it threatens.
