The flowers in the factory of rebirth are too fierce

The only happy person in the entire conference room was Han Zhilong. Ever since he received a call from Minister Wu asking him to attend a seminar on lithography machines, Yuan Zhilong's legs began to weaken.

It's not that he has a dark heart and doesn't want domestic lithography machines to be developed. Rather, he is afraid that the ministry will use administrative orders to force him to put the profits made by Dongtian Electronics into this bottomless pit project.

This is a photolithography machine! The money spent is in the tens of millions. Dongtian Electronics, which has just started to make some progress with its Music Garden product, can't afford it.

Just when everyone was at a loss, a light laugh came out of Lin Zhiyuan's mouth.

Director Han looked up at Lin Zhiyuan. His eyes, which had just lost hope and were like dead fish, suddenly glowed with life. He stood up suddenly and stared at Lin Zhiyuan. "Assistant Lin, you must have a way, right? You came up with that genius idea just now, so you must have a way to solve it, right?"

Although it was their first day meeting, Director Han had already developed a sense of trust in the young Assistant Lin. He must have a way.

This series of "right or wrong" questions made the other four veteran scientists focus their attention on Lin Zhiyuan.

Minister Wu finally had time to speak. He was familiar with the senior scientists present. "Engineer Xiao, Mr. Liu, Mr. Sun, Professor Qi, let me introduce you. This is Comrade Lin Zhiyuan, the assistant director of the Large Scale Working Committee. Assistant Lin is very enthusiastic about the research and development of lithography machines. This meeting was held at his suggestion."

Old Liu interrupted Minister Wu's speech without any hesitation. He stared at Lin Zhiyuan like Director Han did. "Well, Assistant Lin, I'm sorry that we old guys have embarrassed you. Do you have any way to solve the practical difficulties in research and development?"

"I can give it a try." Lin Zhiyuan said only six words, and these six words were like a stimulant, which boosted the spirits of the five old guys.

"Let's go one by one. Which senior just said that there is no test site..." Lin Zhiyuan turned his head and looked at Minister Wu, "Minister Wu, is there any way for the department to solve this problem?"

"That's no problem. The 45th Institute is now in Yanjiao, not far from Yanjing. Moreover, the 45th Institute has developed photolithography machines before, and Director Han is familiar with the place..."

Before Minister Wu finished speaking, Director Han began to nod his head, "Yes, yes, Institute 45 will be no problem at all, some basic equipment is already available."

Lin Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Okay, let's talk about the second question. We need a photolithography machine prototype. Where can we get it?"

Several old scientists looked at each other, and finally Professor Qi gave the answer, "Assistant Lin, there are a few in China, but they are too old and meaningless. If you want to verify your idea, you must buy a current mainstream lithography machine, at least a 193-nanometer one..."

"Assistant Lin, photolithography machines are not cheap!"

"We don't have to buy the latest model, we can buy a second-hand one."

"Yes! Buy a second-hand one. It can be used for experiments. It is also cheap. It is best to buy one from Dongsang Country."

These people talked a lot and gave suggestions. They also knew that a lithography machine was very expensive, so everyone was trying to find ways to reduce expenses.

"Then buy it. I'll contact them later to see if I can buy a second-hand lithography machine. Let's talk about the third difficulty, the problem of money..."

When it comes to money, Yuan Zhilong's face becomes even more miserable, and his figure unconsciously becomes three points shorter.

Minister Wu said, "If it really doesn't work, the department will sell another piece of land and try to raise some funds. We will set up a project team first..."

"Minister Wu, I have an idea. Can the ministry set up a special fund for lithography machines? I know some wealthy friends. Let's make an appeal and try to raise some social donations. No matter how much, the start-up capital should be enough. Let's start this project first..." At this point, Lin Zhiyuan glanced at Yuan Zhilong, "Don't withdraw funds from Dongtian Electronics yet. Dongtian Electronics is still a young seedling. We need to let it grow slowly. The Music Garden product has only achieved initial success. We need to continue to increase our research and development efforts, and all of this requires money."

Yuan Zhilong almost burst into tears when he heard Lin Zhiyuan's words. He stood up and said word by word: "Assistant Lin, I promise that when Dongtian Electronics develops, we will definitely provide financial support for the lithography machine project."

After listening to Lin Zhiyuan's suggestion, Minister Wu's expression did not lighten a bit. "Assistant Lin, I am very touched by your kindness, but the lithography machine project is very expensive. It is not impossible for the public to donate, but I am afraid that it will be a drop in the bucket and will not help."

"Minister Wu, your concerns are reasonable, but I just learned from Director Han about our country's previous experience and practices in developing photolithography machines, and I have a different understanding. Our country's system is different from that of the West. Their scientific and technological research and development is mainly based on companies, which is indeed very expensive. But Director Han just said that we have a national system. Once a project is established, support will come from all sides. Just from this point alone, we can save a lot of money. I am right, right!"

Lin Zhiyuan looked at Minister Wu's face and smiled. "I will call Director Li in the evening and tell him about today's meeting. It would be best if Secretary Wu could know. If the leaders attach importance to the lithography machine project and support us in doing this, then I think we can definitely save some funds."

Minister Wu was a little excited. "Assistant Lin, it would be great if Secretary Wu could support us." His confidence was boosted again.

The five old scientists were also very excited.

There are indeed many difficulties, but when a leader from outside the industry like Lin Zhiyuan can provide such unremitting support, what else can these old guys say? Just roll up your sleeves and work hard.

"Director Han, I will help you solve the money problem. The rest is up to you. I have a few questions. What types of scientific researchers are needed to set up the lithography machine project team? Which units are needed to cooperate? You'd better make a list for me. If the Ministry of Information Industry can solve the problem itself, we can transfer people from the ministry. If it involves personnel and equipment from other units, I will find a way to coordinate with the leaders."

"Okay, okay, Assistant Lin, let's discuss it and give you the list as soon as possible."

This will be open till late.

When Lin Zhiyuan came out of the Ministry of Information Industry, it was already dark. He stood on the roadside and called Aoi Lan.

"Teacher Cang, please do me a favor."

"Mr. Lin, you haven't called me for a long time. I heard that you went to Yanjing. How have you been recently?" Teacher Cang was very happy when she received Lin Zhiyuan's call. Her gentle voice was full of joy and anticipation.

The two exchanged sweet words for a while, and Lin Zhiyuan told the purpose of his visit, "Teacher Cang, I wonder if you have any channels to buy a second-hand lithography machine, the level must be at least above 193 nanoseconds."

"Mr. Lin, I don't understand this, but I can help you find out." Teacher Cang would definitely do his best in everything Lin Zhiyuan asked him to do.
