Military Industry of Great Powers: Build the Strongest Flanker

When he returned to his room, the sky was already half white, and Zhao Zhongshu wanted to take a nap to replenish his strength.

But when I closed my eyes, I kept thinking about Gao Changming's words in my mind.

From rare earth smelting to compound crystal growth, developing civilian technology and supporting military technology...

But I always feel like something is missing!

He recalled the report submitted by the 14th before departure, requesting approval from the headquarters and requesting technical support from the WX8531 chip factory, and his thoughts suddenly broadened.

"This kid is messing around, he doesn't want to get chips!"

"It seems to be some kind of magnesium-doped polysilicon P-level material!"

It’s interesting. Thinking of Zhao Guoqing’s identity as a recent college graduate who rejected the opportunity to study abroad at MIT, Zhao Zhongshu became more and more curious...

…………

High-purity gallium nitride crystal is a material controlled by the West. Zhao Guoqing really doesn't know this. In fact, even if he knew it, he could understand it.

The KBBF crystal for manufacturing deep ultraviolet lasers was artificially synthesized by China in the early 1990s. It was originally not within the scope of control. Later, after learning about the strong potential of KBBF, it was finally controlled.

This kind of control is very common among countries.

At this time, he didn’t know that the gallium nitride crystal he rubbed out with his own hands had already caused a sensation in China’s science and technology community.

In fact, when detailed crystallographic phase testing, electronic scanning testing, and physical property testing were released the next day, officials couldn't wait to break the news to the media.

Evening newspapers across the country that day added press releases at short notice.

"China has made a major breakthrough in the field of gallium nitride crystals, producing gallium nitride crystals with a purity of 99.997%!"

The press release also included a photo of a researcher in a white coat holding a crystal in his hand.

Although ordinary people don’t know what gallium nitride is? But a breakthrough is, after all, a matter of boosting morale.

Major universities and research institutes across the country have come to the Academy of Sciences for verification and requested to provide some crystal raw materials for research.

Xiaoli Embassy in China.

Science and Engineering Counselor Nakata Hatao looked at the newspaper and smiled at the assistant next to him: "The Chinese have not gotten rid of their bragging habit yet. How is it possible that 99.997% purity is possible? The top level of gallium nitride purification technology is now in the United States. What they can achieve is only 99.992%, and we in Japan can only achieve 99.98%, but it is not too far to catch up with the United States!"

China didn’t know what gallium nitride was a few years ago? Now that we are making high-purity gallium nitride, do you think this technology can be made by hand?

This may require strong technical reserves.

When I was young, I boasted about the spirit of craftsmanship. In fact, they do have an extraordinary spirit of research. For example, in semiconductor chips, they started in the United States. Japan’s current memory chips are number one in the world.

Assistant Kogujiro said doubtfully: "I saw in the newspaper that the United States can achieve a purity of 99.9996, which is an order of magnitude higher than China!"

Nakata Hatao smiled. He might not know about other things, but he still knew something about gallium nitride crystals because the purification equipment had Japanese technology.

"Xiao Quan-kun, you are too naive. America's technology has not yet reached this level. What you hear is just what the Americans want you to hear."

The falsification of technical indicators of Yingjiang has a long history. In the process of competing for hegemony with Mao Xiong, this is the need for publicity.

Koinujiro nodded and said with a smile: "It seems that the Chinese people are not all bragging. They have learned Taika-chan's methods. It's interesting. Counselor Nakata, then we can stop paying attention!"

"Haha!" Nakata Kyufu laughed and said, "The Chinese have a history of five thousand years. They know the Thirty-Six Strategies and how to use strategies. Think about it, why did they release this news?"

"Why?" Xiao Quan shook his head.

"You are still too young. Gallium nitride crystals are very useful, especially in the military. When the Chinese announced this, they wanted to let the West relax control on their high-purity gallium nitride crystals. Haha, take it. A piece of glass is said to have synthesized high-purity gallium nitride crystal, they are simply ridiculous, haha!”

Nakata Kyufu couldn't stop laughing wildly.

99.997%, the Chinese dare to brag about this, it's like primitive people announcing that they have created a machine gun!

"Since the Chinese dare to say, we will buy it. You say hello to the domestic media. If they don't sell it, we will expose them in the media and teach them how to respect science!"

"Hi!"

"So how much will it cost us?"

"One million U.S. dollars!" Nakata Hatao pointed at the newspaper and said, "Great Japan is willing to spend one million U.S. dollars, remember, not Japanese yen, to buy the crystal in the photo!"

Xiao Quan looked horrified and whispered: "Nakata-kun, we don't have this authority, and it's still in US dollars. This price is too outrageous."

One million U.S. dollars in 1984 was much more valuable than 100 million U.S. dollars forty years later. It was even worth more.

Nakata Hatao shook his head and said: "When you tell the media this news, just say that our little country congratulates China on its achievements in high-purity gallium nitride crystals and is willing to spend one million to buy this crystal with a purity of 99.997%. .”

"this……"

"Hey, Mr. Xiaoquan, you are not smart enough. One million dollars is to buy a real high-purity gallium nitride crystal. What do you think will happen if it is a fake?"

"...I know!" Koinujiro smiled brightly and said, "There is an old saying in China, which is to roast them on the fire. Is that so, Nakata-kun?"

Hideo Nakata nodded and said: "You're getting smarter. One million dollars is just a gimmick. In this way, whether they sell or not, their international image will be greatly affected, and their scientific community will be severely damaged... …”

"Nakata-kun, you have a great strategy!"

"Go and do things quickly!"

"Hi!"

…………

It was a big deal. Director Liu Qing came to Research Institute 152 the next day and immediately summoned Chief Engineer Zhao Zhongshu and Director Gao Changming for a meeting.

"What, the chief engineer of the high-purity gallium nitride project didn't come?"

Although the project chief engineer and the chief engineer are both accompanied by the chief engineer, they are completely different, just like the difference between the general manager and the project manager. But the focus is not here, the focus is on the identity of the project chief engineer.

"Zhao Zhongshu, a recent graduate of Xidian University, are you kidding me?"

"No, Director Liu, I don't know about the matter. I just followed Gao Changming to have a look!"

"This project was not initiated by your C-fly team?"

"No, I don't know anything. I have never met Xiao Zhao!"

Incredibly, Liu Qing felt that he had never seen anything like this in his entire life.

"Director Gao, what's going on?"

Gao Changming's head was sweating. Director Liu Qing had been in the army all his life, and the power of a tiger was not something that ordinary people could bear.

"That's right, Director Liu, this project was secretly approved by our 14th institute..."

Gao Changming reported the events in detail.

"Succeeded in one go? Grow so big in one day?"

Wan Guozhong, chief engineer of the Academy of Sciences' high-purity gallium nitride project, feels that he has lived like a dog in the past few decades.

If he hadn't seen a real high-purity gallium nitride crystal and a real test report, he would definitely tear Gao Changming's mouth apart. This bragging is not funny at all.

Liang Zhujin also stared at Gao Changming.

If you don’t believe it, don’t believe it.

The equipment that was pieced together here and there was done in one go! How is that possible!

Wan Guozhong spent three years on this project and invested several millions. The result...

When Gao Changming laid out the technical information and turned to the first page, both of them shut up.

I don't know how long it took, but the two of them had been immersed in the derivation of the theory. What surprised them was that even with their academic level, it was very difficult to read this report.

Many of the theories have never been seen before, but when deduced, they are undoubtedly correct.

The two of them raised their heads in unison and glanced at each other, seeing expressions of disbelief on each other's faces.

"How about it?"

Liang Zhujin shook his head and said, "We still need some experiments to verify it. I'm not very familiar with some theories!"

"You're not familiar with it either!" Director Liu Qing looked at Wan Guozhong and said, "Chief Master Wan, what do you think?"

"Director Liu, I think we should immediately arrange for someone to re-prepare high-purity gallium nitride crystals according to the plan of the 14th institute!"

Director Liu Qing nodded and said: "Three things. The first one, the technical information of the high-purity gallium nitride crystal project, will be kept confidential immediately."

Everyone nodded and had no objections.

"The second thing is to follow the advice of Chief Wan and follow the 14th plan to prepare high-purity gallium nitride crystals again!"

Director Liu Qing turned to Gao Changming and said, "The third thing, Director Gao, I would like to ask Zhao Guoqing to come to Institute 152 and give you a report!"
