The rejuvenation of a great nation: from educated youth to national treasure scientist

Chapter 104 No comparison, no harm

The leader paused and said, "Our production equipment is still a bit too backward, and production capacity is always a problem."

Wang Haoran said: "Therefore, we have to speed up the upgrading of production equipment."

"Without updating equipment, industrial production cannot be scaled up."

"If the scale is not increased and the output is not high, the supply will fall short of the demand. Even if the price is forced to be low, the people still cannot buy it."

"In the future, our economic contradictions will gradually develop to the point where the contradiction between backward production capacity and the people's growing consumption demand is irreconcilable."

In fact, in addition to the backwardness of mechanical equipment, there is another aspect that must be accelerated.

That is: materials science!

Wang Haoran felt that he would have to pay more attention to materials research in the future.

The leader nodded and said, "This judgment is very correct."

"Haoran, you always have a sharp vision!"

"You have already developed a domestic color TV production line. So, what kind of scientific research project do you want to work on next?"

Wang Haoran thought for a moment and said, "I have decided to focus my research on electronic technology for the next period of time."

"I told you before that the future direction of technology will definitely be towards electronic and digital development."

"Now the mechanical production equipment in Europe, America and Japan is already developing in this direction."

"The underlying technology of electronic and digitalization includes two aspects."

"One aspect is the large-scale integrated circuit, that is, the chip. The other aspect is the operating system."

"Combining these two, many of our production equipment can take great strides towards automated, standardized, and streamlined production."

The leader nodded with satisfaction and said, "This is a very clear scientific conclusion."

"It seems that our research on large-scale integrated circuits is not particularly bad, right?"

Wang Haoran said: "We have been blocked for too long. Now, the chip production equipment we have developed is still relatively backward."

"For example, in the field of lithography machines, Xifang has now developed to the era of walk-in and immersion lithography machines."

"And we are still making contact lithography machines."

"Contact lithography machines do not produce high-precision and high-yield products."

"This means that our chip manufacturing level is now at least 15 years behind that of the Lizard."

"So, we have to improve the chip production equipment."

“Also, we have to accelerate the development of the software side.”

"If both the hardware and software are developed, then the development of our precision machinery, computer equipment, and aerospace can also be accelerated."

The leader obviously doesn't know much about particularly professional topics.

However, he knew that Wang Haoran was right.

He then asked, "So, what are you going to tackle next, hardware or software?"

Wang Haoran said: "Let's solve the hardware problem first."

“After solving the hardware problem, we can start working on the software.”

“After all, the hardware is like the foundation.”

“Only when the foundation is solid can a magnificent building be built.”

The leader said: "Just go ahead and do it!"

"Your project will be designated as a national key research project!"

“It can be listed as a major scientific research project in 1978!”

Wang Haoran was overjoyed when he heard this.

Only when the higher-ups attach great importance to it can we get a lot of resources allocated to it.

We will lead the upgrade of chip production equipment, and other domestic scientific research institutions will cooperate with us.

This may speed up the development process.

"Thank you, leader."

The leader waved his hand and said, "Go for it!"

"Our country's current industrial foundation is still relatively solid, but it is in urgent need of technological upgrading!"

Without the support of technology, Longguo's industry will ultimately have major flaws.

Wang Haoran feels that his current mission is to make up for this shortcoming.

However, Wang Haoran still felt that he needed to remind his leader: Be sure to guard against Lizard's fraud!
"Leader, I think it is necessary to make one thing clear: we cannot think too highly of Lizard Fang."

"They never wanted us to develop well."

"If we develop, they will definitely come up with all kinds of schemes and tricks to sabotage our development!"

Wang Haoran talked about how Panasonic executive Jiro Ono attempted to disrupt his research on domestic color TV production lines.

After listening to this, the leader nodded and said, "You are right. Lizard Fang can never be our friend!"

"Our friends are still in the vast third world countries."

"You can use the foot basin, but you must never trust it."

Wang Haoran smiled and said, "In fact, there is no absolute friendship between countries. If two countries get closer, they must have their own needs."

"What I am most worried about now is that there are some people in our country who are weak-kneed. If others give them a little benefit, they will shake their heads and puff their cheeks, becoming a tool of public opinion for others."

Wang Haoran talked to his leader for a while. Seeing that it was almost 10 o'clock in the evening, he hurriedly said goodbye and left.

The leader did not try to persuade Wang Haoran to stay, and told him: "If you encounter any man-made difficulties in your research in the future, just tell me and I will help you coordinate!"

Wang Haoran naturally agreed without hesitation.

What he is going to do next requires stronger support.

With the leader's words, things become much easier.

Wang Haoran got up and left without saying anything about taking the color TV he brought with him.

When the leader saw him off, he said to him, "This TV is of great historical significance. I think I should buy it for myself as a souvenir. Is that okay?"

"I'll have someone go through the purchase procedures with your school tomorrow."

Wang Haoran smiled and said, "Boss, this TV is just a byproduct of our laboratory. You can keep it for use!"

The leader waved his hands and said, "How can that be possible? Let's just follow the rules! Without rules, there will be no order!"

Wang Haoran was deeply moved by the leader's principled attitude.

Yes! There is no order without rules. As long as we can always stick to principles and rules, we can ensure fairness and justice, and the country will always be on the right track.

The leader actually personally saw Wang Haoran off. When they reached the door, the leader said, "Such a big breakthrough is enough to inspire the people of our country! Let the reporters do an interview tomorrow! Let's try to let the people of the whole country know this good news as soon as possible."

……

When Wang Haoran returned home, it was already past 11 o'clock in the evening.

Xiao Lijuan hasn't slept yet.

No matter what time Wang Haoran comes back, she will insist on waiting for him.

"I'm going to meet the leader tonight with our results..." Wang Haoran explained to Xiao Lijuan why he came home late.

Xiao Lijuan smiled and said, "Haoran, you are doing serious things, you don't need to explain to me."

She brought Wang Haoran some foot washing water for him to soak his feet.

She massaged his shoulders and back to relieve his fatigue.

While enjoying the care of Xiao Lijuan's gentle hands, Wang Haoran said, "I was thinking about taking a color TV produced in the laboratory home to use." "But the leaders are so principled, and my ideological awareness cannot be too low."

"Tomorrow I will also go through the formalities, pay some money, and buy a color TV that I produce myself."

"This way we'll have TV to watch."

Xiao Lijuan said, "No need for that, right? A color TV is a bit too luxurious."

"I think it's better to save some money and listen to the radio on weekdays."

Wang Haoran smiled and grabbed her hand, stroking it gently while saying, "Didn't I tell you?"

"According to our concept, domestically produced color TVs are not expensive, and the market price is only 700 to 800 yuan."

"If we do this according to the laboratory's processing principles, 500 yuan is enough."

Xiao Lijuan said: "500 is not expensive?"

"Haoran, in the next few years, if I go to college, I will have to take four years off from work. If we plan to have children, we will need money!"

"We must live frugally."

Wang Haoran simply pulled her in front of him, let her sit on his lap, and said, "I can support you and this family!"

"Don't worry, Lijuan! You don't have to worry about not having enough money."

Xiao Lijuan was held in his arms like this, her heart filled with sweetness.

"Haoran, wasn't I worried that you would be too tired?"

"Didn't you say before that you wanted to have a baby soon?"

"Now, the marriage certificate has been obtained."

"Since when did you start preparing for it?"

"I calculated that if I start trying in July this year and get pregnant in August, the due date will be June next year, and I can take advantage of the summer vacation to recuperate after giving birth."

Wang Haoran didn't expect that Xiao Lijuan had even taken this into account.

Wang Haoran smiled and said, "Man proposes, God disposes. As for the child, when we have it, we'll have it!"

Xiao Lijuan blushed and said, "Then, don't use the safety measures in the future."

Wang Haoran stretched out his hand and pinched her face, then said with a smile: "I'll listen to you. How about starting from tonight?"

Xiao Lijuan quickly shook her head and said, "Forget it. It's already late tonight."

"You have to go to work tomorrow!"

Wang Haoran wiped his feet without saying anything, picked her up and walked towards the bedroom...

……

The next day, CCTV reporter Wang Jianguo and his partner came to Beijing Institute of Technology together.

Wang Jianguo has now almost become a professional in reporting news related to Wang Haoran.

After he arrived at the unit in the morning, he received the task to interview the domestic color TV production line.

Wang Jianguo has interviewed related news before.

At that time, he was deeply impressed by some of the equipment on the domestic color TV production line.

This time, editor-in-chief Guo Peiran clearly told Wang Jianguo that the domestic color TV production line had been fully developed.

Moreover, a batch of color TV sets have been produced.

The performance of these domestically produced color TVs is very good, and even the chief designer has personally experienced them.

Moreover, when compared with the color TV with foot basin, it is not inferior at all.

Wang Jianguo was a little surprised.

He thought to himself: Domestic color TVs have actually caught up with the technology level of color TVs in China?

This is a bit unscientific.

Because Wang Jianguo himself had seen the most advanced color TV in the foot basin.

Not only is their color TV beautiful in appearance, but it also has strong reception signals, and the picture quality is just like jade and agate, with bright and stable colors. It is world-class in all aspects.

Otherwise, why would their foot basin-shaped TVs be sold all over the world?

Because they are the best in the world!
Wang Jianguo certainly hopes that domestic color TVs can develop.

However, he thinks that boasting about being able to catch up with the top level is false and empty.

There is no benefit in advocating this except deceiving oneself.

When Wang Jianguo arrived at Beijing Institute of Technology and met Wang Haoran, he said, "Comrade Haoran, tell me the truth. Do you think that our domestically produced color TVs can really compare with the best color TVs in the world?"

As soon as Wang Haoran saw the expression on the other person's face, he knew that Wang Jianguo thought he was suspected of exaggerating his achievements.

Wang Haoran smiled and nodded and said, "Of course!"

"The most important functions of a TV set are that it has powerful signal processing capabilities, stable image switching, and realistic and detailed image quality."

"We have compared it with the most advanced color TV of Panasonic Corporation!"

"It is not inferior to Panasonic's color TV in every aspect, and is even a little better."

"Teacher Wang, please come with me. I'll let you make your own judgment!"

Wang Haoran brought Wang Jianguo to the laboratory.

There, he placed a Panasonic latest model color TV together with a domestic color TV, turned them on at the same time, and played programs on the same channel.

Wang Jianguo widened his eyes and compared the two color TVs with a very critical look.

As a result, he found that, just as Wang Haoran said, the performance of domestic color TVs was no worse than Panasonic's latest models in all aspects.

The most important point: domestic color TVs are cheap!

According to Wang Haoran, domestically produced color TVs will be applied to the state, and the price of each unit will be around 600 to 1,000 yuan.

Even so, domestic color TVs can still ensure a good profit margin.

Wang Jianguo was shocked.

"So, how is the production efficiency? As far as I know, a color TV production factory in Jiaoben can produce more than one million color TVs a year!"

Wang Haoran smiled and said, "If we run our production line at full capacity, we can produce 30 color TV sets a year! If a factory installs three or four such production lines, we can almost reach that number."

Wang Jianguo nodded and said, "If that's the case, that would be great."

Wang Jianguo interviewed at Beijing Institute of Technology for more than an hour.

Before he left, Wang Haoran donated two domestically produced color TVs to the national television station in the name of the school.

This can also be considered a strategy to establish good relations with the national television station.

What Wang Haoran didn't expect was that the two donated domestically produced color TVs caused a huge sensation after arriving at the national TV station.

Because, the equipment currently used by the national television station is all of inferior quality!

After the domestically produced color TVs are delivered, they will naturally be subjected to various tests by television media people.

After testing, they found that domestic color TVs not only have excellent viewing effects, but also save electricity?!
That evening, the 7 o'clock news grandly broadcast the successful development of a domestic color TV production line. The performance of domestic color TVs has caught up with the world's advanced level, and is even higher in technical quality than Panasonic's latest color TV models. A comparison was also made.

Once this news was broadcast, it once again caused a huge response in the country.

……

Ni Haifeng signed an agreement with Beijing Institute of Technology to purchase two domestic color TV production lines at once. After he returned to his unit in Sichuan Province, he was severely criticized by another deputy in the unit, Hou Yaojun.
