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

Chapter 110 Factory 742

Wang Haoran naturally would not accommodate him for fear of offending Lei Xiaojun.

Wang Haoran smiled and said to Lei Xiaojun: "Teacher Lei, I'm sorry, my new project does not require the participation of outstanding experts from the Department of Mechanical Engineering."

"But I still want to thank you for your support of my work."

Wang Haoran politely expressed his refusal.

Lei Xiaojun was very unhappy when he heard this. He said, "Since you want to study the chip manufacturing production line, you can't avoid the major of mechanical engineering."

"I'm a second-level professor, and I came here specifically to recommend myself. Haoran, you should at least give me some face, right?"

Wang Haoran shook his head and thought to himself, Lei Xiaojun is really a despicable person.

You're a second-level professor, and I've already rejected you. Shouldn't you just leave tactfully?
You're still pestering me?
Wang Haoran smiled and said, "Of course I have to give Mr. Lei face, but my team members have basically been confirmed. Haha! I'm really sorry. Let's cooperate again next time if there is a chance."

Lei Xiaojun's face immediately turned pale.

He had shamelessly gone for it again.

The other party refused without hesitation.

This really doesn't give yourself any face.

"So, who did you choose to partner with in the Department of Mechanical Engineering?" he asked.

Wang Haoran said calmly, "They are the young teachers who collaborated on the previous project."

"They have always been supportive of my work. They are also very cooperative."

"Of course I will choose to continue the cooperation!"

Lei Xiaojun snorted: "It seems that you are deliberately trying to make trouble with me?"

Wang Haoran frowned: "Teacher Lei, what you said is a bit out of context."

"You are a great professor. Logically, you shouldn't be interested in participating in my project, right? I am afraid that if you join my project, it will make you lose face. You should understand me."

Lei Xiaojun already knew that it was basically impossible for him to join Wang Haoran's new project team.

"Shame on you!"

"Why did I come here to let him humiliate me like this?"

Lei Xiaojun was very angry. He snorted and turned away.

When he reached the door of Wang Haoran's office, he turned around and looked at Wang Haoran again and said, "Wang Haoran, I have never seen someone like you who disrespects teachers!"

“Don’t get cocky just because you’ve achieved something!”

"A young man who doesn't even have basic manners is destined to go nowhere!"

"If you don't believe me, let's just wait and see!"

After saying that, Lei Xiaojun left in a rage.

As he walked out the door, Qian Dake, the director of the Department of Electronic Engineering, happened to come over.

When Qian Dake saw Lei Xiaojun's face turned pale, he became furious.

He subconsciously asked, "What happened to Teacher Lei?"

Lei Xiaojun snorted and walked away without responding.

Qian Dake shook his head and walked into Wang Haoran's office.

"Teacher Qian, you are here. Please take a seat."

Wang Haoran quickly gave Dake money and asked him to sit on the sofa.

"Haoran, what's going on with Lei Xiaojun?" Qian Dake asked.

Wang Haoran told Qian Dake what had just happened.

Qian Dake shook his head and said, "What a shame! This is too ungraceful!"

Wang Haoran smiled and said, "This guy is actually a speculator."

Qian Dake nodded: "Your comment is very insightful! This person is just a scheming villain!"

"In the past few years, he has jumped higher than anyone else, trying to climb up by stepping on the corpses of his colleagues."

"Unfortunately, he himself was not innocent either. He was exposed and then punished..."

"Forget it, let's not talk about him. Let's talk about your new topic."

Wang Haoran smiled and said, "I was just planning to ask you for guidance on my research project application report."

"I just finished putting it together. I put a lot of effort into this report."

Wang Haoran gave the application report he wrote to Qian Dake for review.

Qian Dake said, "Haoran, don't be too modest. I dare not give you instructions. I learned a lot from you on the topic of domestic color TV production line last time."

"I'd like to read your report and see what support I can provide."

Qian Dake started to look at Wang Haoran's project application report.

Qian Dake is naturally no stranger to large-scale integrated circuits.

Because his major is radar!
Advanced radar cannot be separated from chips.

Domestic chips are not too backward nowadays, and general military chips can be self-sufficient.

Qian Dake himself also supported the construction of Factory 742.

Factory 742 is the famous Jiangnan Radio Equipment Factory, which was later renamed Longguo Huajing.

This factory mainly produces chips.

They once developed a contact lithography machine whose manufacturing process could keep up with the world's advanced level.

Qian Dake also has practical experience in chips.

He read Wang Haoran's project application report carefully, and the more he read, the more surprised he was.

Because Wang Haoran's project application was too detailed.

The full-process chip production line includes quite a lot of processes.

It includes process steps such as wafer preparation, wafer manufacturing, testing and sorting, assembly and packaging, and final testing.

Wafer preparation, to put it simply, is the process of manufacturing wafer raw materials.

Generally, single crystal silicon is manufactured using equipment, and then the single crystal silicon rods are sliced.

After being cut into wafers, they need to be ground.

The substrate for the integrated circuit is ready.

Next, we can start chip manufacturing...

In Wang Haoran's project application report, the equipment for each process was redesigned.

Whether it is equipment for the wafer preparation process or equipment for the thin film deposition process, Wang Haoran adheres to one principle: to improve production efficiency and standardize operability.

That is to say, we will increase the intensity of mechanized and standardized operations to significantly improve production efficiency. At the same time, the sophistication of equipment has also been upgraded.

For example, in the field of lithography machines, the domestic market currently uses contact-type lithography machines, which are relatively backward, inefficient, and have a low yield rate, and cannot be used for large-scale rapid production.

The lithography machine improved by Wang Haoran is a non-contact walk-in immersion lithography machine.

This type of lithography machine can greatly improve production efficiency and chip fineness, and can easily make the chip process reach 1 micron.

Such chips are much, much more powerful than previous ones. With 1-micron chips, we can start producing personal computers.

Not only that, we can also start upgrading mechanical equipment and produce Longguo’s own advanced CNC machine tools.

Of course, fields such as aviation, electrical appliances, etc. also need the support of chips.

The improvement of chip technology can help accelerate industrial automation production, and then the real era of large-scale industry in Longguo will truly come.

After reading the report written by Wang Haoran, Qian Dake felt like he had been enlightened. Some of the previous mysteries about chip production were suddenly cleared up.

Qian Dake said to Wang Haoran with emotion: "Haoran, after reading your project application report, I feel that my understanding of chip production in the past was a bit too superficial!"

Wang Haoran smiled and said, "I just completed this application report based on some information I summarized and sorted out."

"If we want to truly complete this project, we still need to do more work."

"But as long as we can complete this project, I firmly believe that our chip production will surpass that of the Lizard State and begin to lead the world."

Qian Dake rubbed his hands together, feeling very happy: "Have the project team members been confirmed?"

Wang Haoran said: "My idea is very simple. I will use the team I worked with before, because we have worked together on the same topic, the cooperation is more pleasant, and the cooperation is more tacit."

Qian Dake nodded happily and said, "Thank you for your recognition of my work."

"No need to say, I will fully cooperate with your work."

Wang Haoran thanked him happily: "Thank you, Teacher Qian."

Qian Dake said: "Haoran, I am the one who should be thanking you!"

"After all, the final results of your previous domestic color TV production line project were assigned to our Department of Electronic Engineering, haha!"

"Well! You are now officially a member of our Electronic Engineering Department."

"Principal Liu has already told me that he wants me to discuss with you how to train you in the future."

"Actually, you still need our training now!"

"I think we should just wait a year and then conduct an undergraduate assessment on you. After you pass the assessment, we can directly issue you a bachelor's degree certificate. What do you think?"

Wang Haoran naturally thanked him repeatedly.

Next, Wang Haoran’s project application report was submitted to the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building.

Guo Weiyang, the head of the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building, had long known that Wang Haoran’s new topic was still in the field of electronic technology.

After Wang Haoran's project report was submitted, Guo Weiyang personally organized experts to review and approve it.

Guo Weiyang also took a look at Wang Haoran's report.

He naturally doesn't understand chips.

But he still thought it looked impressive.

Because, Wang Haoran wrote this at the end of this project: The purpose of this project is to surpass Lizard Country's technology in the field of chips. As long as this project is completed, it can help Longguo master the world's leading chip technology and help many industrial fields.

The subject of domestic color TV production line has become a major achievement of the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building, and the results are currently being transformed into productivity.

This achievement has also been highly recognized by the country, and it is destined to become a major achievement in the development of Longguo's science and technology in 1978.

Therefore, Guo Weiyang will of course give unconditional support to Wang Haoran's new topic.

Guo Weiyang applied to his superiors, hoping that more research funds could be approved for Wang Haoran.

Because there are too many production processes involved and many areas that need breakthroughs, more funding is naturally needed.

The higher-ups readily agreed.

Wang Haoran's new project received one million yuan in research funding.

At the same time, it was also listed as a major scientific research breakthrough project in Longguo in 1978.

Guo Weiyang called Wang Haoran to his office again.

"Haoran! We have already applied to our superiors for the project you just applied for, and we have specially approved 100 million yuan for you!"

"In fact, we have long been aware of the importance of very large-scale integrated circuits, and research in this area has been intensified."

"Before, many related research topics were approved, but those topics were not as systematic as yours."

"Work hard! Try to make another breakthrough by the end of the year! This year, we have decided to apply for the National Science and Technology Invention Award for you!"

Wang Haoran was very happy. He was happy that the research funding approved this time was as high as 100 million.

In fact, he did not specify the amount of funding in his project application.

It is rare for a country to take the initiative to provide such high funding.

This also shows one thing: his scientific research ability has been recognized by the upper level.

"Thank you, leader." Wang Haoran hurriedly expressed his gratitude.

Guo Weiyang waved his hands and said with a smile: "Why thank you? It's my duty to support you in any way!"

“Do you need any more support?”

Wang Haoran said: "I may need you to coordinate some materials and supplies for the experiment."

Guo Weiyang waved his hand and said, "Those are minor issues. When the time comes, you write a list and I'll have someone help you find it."

"Besides, you know, when it comes to chip production, Factory 742 is the leader in the country."

"They currently have the most powerful chip production technology."

"As for me, I want you to go and learn something. What do you think?"

Wang Haoran naturally agreed.

He also wants to know the actual level of domestic chip production.

Wang Haoran vaguely remembers that the country's chip research and development level actually reached a peak around 85.

In 85, Longguo even developed a domestically produced non-contact immersion lithography machine.

Unfortunately, under the impact of similar products from the Lizard Country, Longguo was ultimately unable to maintain its bottom line of self-reliance in the chip field. Ultimately, the chip industry was almost destroyed. By the 90s, our chips were mainly imported from abroad.

This can also be said to be an open conspiracy of the Lizard Party!
They just want to use low prices to impact the industry you are developing, so that you will gradually realize that making things yourself is laborious, costly and thankless, and it is more convenient to buy ready-made things.

Wang Haoran clenched his fists. He thought, now that I am here, this situation must be put to an end!

After Wang Haoran finished talking with Guo Weiyang, he went straight to his parents-in-law's home.

The person who came to open the door for him was Xiao Lijuan.

"Hey! Haoran, why are you here at this time?" Xiao Lijuan asked happily.

Wang Haoran smiled and said, "I'm afraid I have to go out to study for a few days, so I came here specifically to talk to you."

Xia Lijuan was stunned, but then she smiled and said, "Then go ahead. I can take care of myself."

Wang Haoran entered the house, and Lin Yaling happened to come over.

Wang Haoran told them that he was going to Factory 742 to study for a period of time.

Lin Yaling said: "Business matters are more important, Haoran, go ahead and feel free, I will take care of Juanjuan for you!"

Wang Haoran also talked about the approval of his new project. Xia Lijuan and Lin Yaling were both happy for Wang Haoran.

However, when Wang Haoran left, Xiao Lijuan's eyes were still red, and she was a little reluctant.

Before Wang Haoran left Beijing to study at Factory 742, he specifically asked Qian Dake to help him organize a meeting for the project team members, mainly to inform them of the content of the project and let them find some information to study first. In this way, when Wang Haoran came back, they could start to divide the work.
