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

Chapter 113 My Past and My Present
After Wang Haoran developed the proximity lithography machine and produced the 8086 processor, his mission at Factory 742 was considered completed.

Because there was still an important scientific research project waiting for him to lead, he decided to return to the capital as soon as possible.

When he left, Zhang Yongcun and others were quite reluctant to see him go.

Zhang Yongcun personally sent him to the airport and expressed many words of thanks along the way.

"Comrade Haoran, thank you! You have helped us a lot in less than a month."

"With your help, the yield rate of our chip production has been greatly improved."

"Oh! I really don't want you to leave!"

"It would be great if you were from our Factory 742."

"Our factory really can't do without you."

Zhang Yongcun talked a lot.

He even had the idea of ​​submitting a report to transfer Wang Haoran to the factory.

However, he also knew that he could only think about it.

Young scientific and technological workers like Wang Haoran are already national treasures, and even Factory 742 probably wouldn't be able to get them.

Wang Haoran smiled and said to Zhang Yongcun: "Thank you Director Zhang for taking care of me during this period of time."

"I will devote myself to the research of new topics after I return."

"Try to build an advanced chip production line as soon as possible, so that your factory can also upgrade its weapons!"

Zhang Yongcun smiled and said, “I’m looking forward to it!”

"I hope we can use domestic chip production lines one day! We can significantly increase the production volume and yield rate of our chips."

We talked all the way until we arrived at Shuofang Airport.

There was already a military plane waiting for Wang Haoran on the airport apron.

When Zhang Yongcun saw the plane, he thought to himself, it seems that Wang Haoran is indeed very valued!
This is almost equivalent to a special plane.

Before Wang Haoran boarded the plane, Zhang Yongcun said with a smile: "Comrade Haoran, I hope we can keep in touch. If we have any problems here, I'm afraid we will have to trouble you."

Wang Haoran smiled and waved: "Call me if you have anything! Let's work together to bring the development of domestic chips to a new level as soon as possible."

Wang Haoran thought silently: This year is already 1978, and I still have more than 10 years left!
I hope to upgrade chip technology to the international leading level as soon as possible!
The next step is to modernize all production line equipment in all industrial fields.

In that case, our country should be able to become a true industrial power!

Of course, the development of the military industry must also be accelerated!
Advanced radars, advanced missiles, advanced fighter jets, advanced warships, and advanced land combat weapons must all be developed as soon as possible!

The dog-beating stick in your hand must become more and more powerful!

The order of this world must be completely changed! We must not allow those Satans disguised as the Statue of Liberty to harm the world again.

But, are 10 years really enough?
Wang Haoran felt that he should plan it carefully.

On the plane to Beijing, Wang Haoran thought a lot.

……

On the morning of that day, after Guo Weiyang, the head of the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building, finished some work in the office, Lin Xiangyang, the person in charge of scientific research, came to report to him.

After Lin Xiangyang came in, he said excitedly: "Leader, we have made another great achievement in the integrated circuit exposure system!"

"We have developed a more advanced exposure machine! This machine can increase the chip yield rate to more than 60%! This is a groundbreaking achievement!"

Guo Weiyang was cheered up when he heard it.

Because Guo Weiyang knew that the current production and supply of large-scale integrated circuits was a bit tight.

The demand is increasing significantly, but the production cannot keep up, which is very lagging.

The main reason why production cannot keep up is that the yield rate is not very good.

Several hundred pieces are produced per month, and the yield rate is only about one percent.

This yield rate is really too bad. It is basically like finding gold in a garbage dump.

“Which research institute produced this result?”

Lin Xiangyang smiled and said, "The results were reported by Factory 742."

Guo Weiyang laughed: "Haha! I said Factory 742 is awesome!"

He stopped laughing and asked, "Is Comrade Wang Haoran currently studying at Factory 742?"

Lin Xiangyang gave a thumbs up: "It seems that the leader has guessed it."

"The main developer of this proximity exposure system is Wang Haoran!"

"I really didn't expect it! The organization asked him to go to Factory 742 to study, and after he went there, he actually made an advanced exposure machine!"

Guo Weiyang reached out and took the results report materials handed over by Lin Xiangyang.

He looked at it carefully and said, "This result is exactly what we urgently need!"

"Before, we discussed the matter of introducing the photolithography machine with Sony, but they directly refused!"

"If we hadn't eased the relationship with Yusa, we might not even be able to buy the advanced chips from the Lizard!"

"However, the chips they sold to us are too expensive! One chip can easily cost thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars! It's simply a robbery!"

"Alas! We have spent a lot of money on importing chips."

“It would be great if we could eliminate the need to import advanced chips.”

Lin Xiangyang said: "Comrade Haoran said that he would try to resolve this issue within a year."

"Isn't the chip production line project he applied for solving this problem?"

Guo Weiyang nodded and said, "When will Comrade Haoran come back?"

"He's been in Wuxi for a while, right?"

Lin Xiangyang said: "It should be soon."

Guo Weiyang said: "Now that the exposure machine has been developed, the other equipment on the chip production line must also be accelerated!"

“I hope he can speed up the progress!”

"Also, let's first report internally and praise Wang Haoran for successfully developing the exposure machine!"

"When Comrade Haoran comes back, let the media interview him, and then we'll publish a news story to make the people of the whole country happy!"

Guo Weiyang was very excited because there were so many good news recently.

Most of these good news were brought by Wang Haoran.

……

Before Wang Haoran returned to the capital, commendations for him had already been sent to county-level and above units across the country.

The original plan was to only issue it to units under the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building.

But Guo Weiyang reported this to his superiors, who thought that since the commendation was to be announced, it should be announced nationwide!

In addition, we also call on scientific and technological workers across the country to learn from Wang Haoran, bravely climb to the pinnacle of scientific research, and strive to obtain more scientific research results that the country urgently needs.

This is what is called letting advanced models take the lead.

Wang Haoran's banner has now been truly established.

……

At Beijing Institute of Technology, Liu Xianchao was reading a document in his office that afternoon when he received a call from Lin Xiangyang.

Lin Xiangyang told Liu Xianchao and Wang Haoran on the phone that they had successfully developed a new advanced lithography machine and had been commended nationwide.

Liu Xianchao was very happy to hear this. He never thought that Wang Haoran could achieve great results just by going out to study.

After receiving the call, Liu Xianchao convened a faculty and staff meeting after school that afternoon. At the meeting, Liu Xianchao said emotionally: "Comrades! Comrade Wang Haoran is a role model for young scientific and technological workers in our school."

"He is working hard for the development of science and technology in our country all the time!"

"Well, he originally went to Factory 742 to learn, but during the learning process, he discovered that the exposure machine had serious defects, so he immediately helped Factory 742 upgrade the exposure machine and developed a proximity exposure system that is close to the world's advanced level."

"The exposure machine he developed has greatly improved the yield rate of chip production and is of great significance!"

"We must learn from Comrade Haoran, work harder and study harder in our daily work, and strive for everyone to contribute to the development and growth of our motherland..."

This meeting made all the faculty and staff eager to get started and the morale was high. Everyone felt that they should take action, emulate Comrade Wang Haoran, and strive to achieve some great results themselves.

During the meeting, Fu Zheyuan, who was sitting in the audience, felt very uncomfortable.

He is now regretting more and more: Why did he refuse to cooperate with Wang Haoran in the first place?
If I had actively joined Wang Haoran's research team at that time, I wouldn't have ended up in such a passive situation now, right?

Fu Zheyuan is now even a little jealous of his student Zhang Aimin.

It was he who recommended Zhang Aimin to Wang Haoran.

But now, because Zhang Aimin joined Wang Haoran's research group, he has achieved three or four major results in materials in a very short period of time.

Zhang Aimin has become a young academic leader in the Department of Materials at Beijing Institute of Technology.

In time, I, as a teacher, will probably be surpassed by Zhang Aimin.

Originally, this time Wang Haoran was working on a new project on the chip production line, and Fu Zheyuan fully hoped that Wang Haoran would take the initiative to invite him again.

Who would have thought that Wang Haoran simply ignored him...

Wang Haoran still chose to let Zhang Aimin lead the research on chip materials.

The young people in the Department of Materials have now been integrated and joined Wang Haoran's research group.

It was even difficult for Fu Zheyuan to find someone to work on the project he was doing.

This made Fu Zheyuan feel extremely frustrated.

Of course, Lei Xiaojun from the Department of Mechanical Engineering felt just as frustrated as him.

When Wang Haoran was applying for a new project, Lei Xiaojun took the initiative to ask Wang Haoran that he hoped to join Wang Haoran's research team.

The result? It was tragic. He was rejected.

This really makes Lei Xiaojun lose face!
Now, Lei Xiaojun was sitting in the audience listening to Liu Xianchao's passionate and sonorous speech about learning from Wang Haoran, and he was so jealous that his heart was bleeding.

At the same time, he also felt extremely helpless...

How he wished he could come up with a sensational achievement!

But he couldn't figure it out.

It's really depressing.

Of course, the teachers at Beijing Institute of Technology who work with Wang Haoran are very happy now.

Especially the young teachers, they all tasted the sweetness of their first cooperation with Wang Haoran.

They knew that as long as they continued to cooperate with Wang Haoran, they would continue to achieve more.

In fact, Wang Haoran has now mobilized almost all the outstanding teachers in Beijing Industrial College.

Zhang Aimin, who was sitting not far from Fu Zheyuan, was deeply moved as he listened to Liu Xianchao's speech.

The past period of time can be said to be Zhang Aimin’s highlight moment.

Zhang Aimin was originally just an unsuccessful lecturer.

Although he is Fu Zheyuan's student, he is not taken seriously by Fu Zheyuan.

Fu Zheyuan was not allowed to participate in any important scientific research projects.

Zhang Aimin was promoted to lecturer through his own efforts.

However, if you want to be evaluated as an associate professor, it is not easy. You need more scientific research results, and they must be of a certain weight.

Zhang Aimin needs to apply for the research project himself.

However, he simply couldn't apply for good research topics.

Because there are so many experts in materials.

Good topics are generally concentrated in the hands of big names in the materials field.

Zhang Aimin applied for two national-level projects, but was unsuccessful in both cases.

Even if it is a school-level project, there are still a lot of people competing for it.

The turning point in Zhang Aimin's scientific research career actually came after he collaborated with Wang Haoran.

He achieved several important results in materials and won a ministerial gold medal.

At the end of the year, he received a cash bonus of 500 yuan and even a color TV.

Color TVs are really rare these days.

Zhang Aimin brought the color TV back to his rural hometown and gave it to his parents as a gift.

On the night of New Year's Eve, almost the entire village gathered on the road in front of his house to watch TV.

That kind of glory was even more sensational than when he went to college.

Zhang Aimin is now qualified to be evaluated as associate professor.

He is expected to become an associate professor this year.

And all this is brought about by cooperation with Wang Haoran.

……

Xiao Renming was looking up information in the library when he heard the news that Wang Haoran was praised for his development of a new exposure machine.

He was looking through some materials when two teachers came in and were also looking for books on the bookshelf.

The two were still discussing.

What people were discussing was the fact that Wang Haoran had once again achieved major results.

After listening to the two people's discussion, Xiao Renming felt very relieved.

My son-in-law is really amazing.

In other words, just studying for a while can actually produce great results.

I have to tell my daughter this good news when I get home.

Xiao Renming was no longer in the mood to look through the information.

However, he quickly adjusted himself.

"Teacher Xiao, you are also reading here? Congratulations! Comrade Haoran has made another great achievement!"

"This time it's a photolithography machine! This achievement is said to be no worse than the domestic color TV production line! It is very important for national defense, aerospace and other fields!"

One of the two teachers saw Xiao Renming and hurried over to talk to him.

Nowadays, Xiao Renming is extremely well-known in Peking University!
It can be said that almost all teachers and students know him.

This is mainly due to Wang Haoran's help.

Now, even quite a few teachers at Peking University are saying sourly that if it weren't for Wang Haoran, Xiao Renming would never have been able to achieve so many great results in less than a year.

It really makes a difference to have a good son-in-law to help you.

Faced with these rumors, Xiao Renming just laughed it off.

He did not deny that he did benefit from his son-in-law.

But so what? Others want to do the same, but they don’t have the chance yet!
