Return to 78: Why are all the Americans panicking about doing scientific research?

Let’s not talk about others for now.

Take Lin Kaifeng in front of us for example.

Who would have thought that the Northern Machinery Company led by Lin Kaifeng would receive orders worth 150 million US dollars from foreign businessmen after only participating in two Canton Fairs.

In addition to earning foreign exchange, Northern Machinery Company has made outstanding contributions.

They also have a very good reputation in China.

The various types of agricultural vehicles produced by the company are deeply loved and welcomed by the vast number of poor and lower-middle peasants.

After a few dozen seconds, the applause stopped.

Wu Ankang said: "Comrade Lin Kaifeng, please tell us in detail your ideas. How do you plan to use your company's funds to help scientific research departments advance semiconductor research?"

"Yes."

Lin Kaifeng calmed down a bit and said loudly: "Dear experts, dear leaders, good afternoon."

"Through export earnings, Northern Machinery has obtained a large amount of development funds. At the same time, it also made me feel that semiconductor technology has a driving force in the commercial field that other scientific and technological fields do not have."

Immediately, Lin Kaifeng used the induction cooker as an example.

The induction cooker equipped with semiconductor chips has magical functions.

It can adjust the firepower and temperature independently, and has functions such as automatic shutdown and automatic timing.

If a semiconductor chip is installed in the air fryer, the performance of the air fryer will be further improved.

At present, all kinds of products sold by machinery companies have the possibility of performance upgrades.

The key to the upgrade is closely related to semiconductor chips.

"The country is facing a series of difficulties brought about by economic shortages. Money is needed in all aspects. However, we at Northern Machinery Company have a large amount of funds on our books."

"As Minister Wu and I said, rather than letting a large amount of funds lie dormant on the books, it is better to invest them in more important areas."

"What is an important field? Scientific research is the most important field!"

Lin Kaifeng emphasized his tone and talked about the impact and help that technology can provide to the country, enterprises, and everyone.

The island country has mastered the core technologies of a large number of commodities.

By importing cheap production materials from abroad and assembling them in the country, giving the products core technologies, they are then resold at sky-high prices.

Longguo also needs to master a large number of core product technologies.

In terms of semiconductor chips and other technological development, the overall gap between Dragon Country and the island country is not that large.

It can even be said that the technological development of the two countries is at the same level.

"I often say in the company that if we want to turn Northern Machinery into a world-renowned large company, we must first have a large number of talents and competitive core technologies."

"Core technologies cannot be developed without the assistance of scientific researchers. Only by respecting science can a company possess countless core technologies."

Lin Kaifeng took a deep breath and said, "Dear experts and leaders, in the coming period, our company will use half of the funds earned from export to invest in scientific research, build scientific research institutions, and high-tech product factories."

“Through production, research and continuous learning, a closed loop of development is formed.”

"In this closed loop, production, academia and research are closely linked. Only by cultivating internal strength can Longguo's products sell well in the international market."

"Obtain sufficient funds to support various high-tech research including semiconductors!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Professor Yuan stood up and clapped his hands vigorously.

Sitting next to Professor Yuan and working side by side with him for more than ten years, the experts who shared the same attitude also applauded.

Lin Kaifeng spoke so well, and every word touched everyone’s heart.

Without core technology, we are bound to be led by foreign countries.

The reason why Professor Yuan disagrees with canceling all semiconductor research projects is that China has suffered too much from being strangled by foreign countries.

In the 1950s, the Soviet Union claimed to be a good comrade and big brother of Longguo.

Provide a large number of aid projects to Longguo.

On the other hand, the development of Longguo was strictly restricted in terms of military technology.

Whether it was aircraft, missiles, or the research and development of two bombs and one satellite proposed by Long Guo, they all faced difficulties and restrictions from the Soviet Union.

The Soviet Union believed that Longguo only needed to develop its economy and there was no need to research military equipment.

He is an ally of Dragon Country and has his own protection, so Dragon Country does not need advanced weapons at all.

No country dares to disrespect the Dragon Kingdom.

As for the two bombs and one satellite, they were completely unnecessary.

The Soviet Union has countless powerful weapons, and relying on their strategic protection, Longguo can always be in peace.

Faced with repeated rejections from the Soviet Union, Longguo did not give up. Every time the other party rejected it, Longguo proposed again.

In the end, a portion of the Soviet Union’s military industry and weapons and equipment drawings were obtained.

Develop Dragon Country’s own ballistic missile.

Be one-sided and blindly rely on foreign countries.

Either you are strangled or you are taken advantage of by others, and in the end you are branded as a sucker.

"Comrade Lin Kaifeng, let me introduce you. This is Professor Yuan."

"Professor Yuan is now the main scientific research leader of the semiconductor project."

“He is also a well-known technical expert in the field in China.”

After listening to Wu Ankang's introduction, Lin Kaifeng immediately extended his hand and said excitedly, "Professor Yuan, I am very familiar with your name."

"You are the backbone of the scientific research front, and you are a scientific leader worthy of the respect of countless people. If you can bring your research team to join our Northern Machinery Company, we will be able to make semiconductor chips with better performance and lower cost in the future and seize the international market."

"Let our semiconductor chips and other products sell well in the international market and occupy an absolute share of the high-end product market in all aspects."

"In addition to researching high-performance semiconductor chips, I will also leave the work of developing electronic computers to you."

Lin Kaifeng expressed his sincere admiration for Professor Yuan.

Including Professor Yuan, the experts sitting with him were all technical elites whom Lin Kaifeng had admired for a long time.

The word "semiconductor" covers a very wide range of fields.

Different types of chips are used in the field of home appliances and achieve different results.

In addition, semiconductor processors play a vital role in the performance of electronic computers.

Professor Yuan is not only the leader of the semiconductor chip project, but also an absolute expert in the field of semiconductor framework structure.

They are also flexible experts who are not bound by existing sufferings.

Faced with the task of replicating the 8080 chip, Professor Yuan, in the absence of funds and technology, led everyone to use an effective local method and finally completed the technical breakthrough.

Slice.

The precise layout of the 8080 chip as viewed through a microscope.

Copy the chip based on the silicon wafer layout.

Instead of starting from complex CPU logic design.

After greeting everyone one by one, Lin Kaifeng said with a smile on his face: "Professor Yuan, experts, you may encounter various technical problems in your future work, but there is only one thing you don't have to worry about."
