Siheyuan: My Northeastern Farmhouse

Chapter 445 Speak freely
"Let's go, let's go find Wang Xuewu and Wang Shoujue now!" Old Mrs. Lin acted resolutely and got up directly to take Gu Weijun out.

The current building of the Semiconductor Research Institute was built in 64. After Semiconductor successfully completed the chip manufacturing tasks assigned by the state, in 67 the state specially approved a 100 million yuan fund for the Institute of Semiconductor to build a new laboratory building.

It was officially launched in 69, but the preparation and extraction of single silicon rods was not here yet. It was in a laboratory building at the back, which contained the single crystal furnace and district furnace developed by the country.

Wang Xuewu and Wang Shoujue were on the second floor of the building. When Gu Weijun saw them, they were still wearing white coats and doing experiments with the college students assigned from behind.

Since Intel released the latest 71 microprocessor in 4004, these two brother experts have been diligently conducting breakthrough research, hoping to simultaneously develop a 4-bit microprocessor.

"Xuewu, Shoujue, you two, come out!" Old Mrs. Lin shouted directly through the glass.

The two brothers hadn't heard it yet, but the researcher who was nearby heard it. After gesticulating twice with Mrs. Lin through the glass, he went to the two brothers and whispered a reminder, and pointed at Mrs. Lin outside the laboratory. Mrs.

The two brothers came out of the laboratory one after another and took off their masks, "Suo Lin, what's so urgent?"

"I am leading the researchers to copy the 4004 microprocessor. It is reaching a critical moment. It is expected to be almost there in two months."

Old Mrs. Lin didn't talk nonsense, "You two know Gu Weijun. He has made a plan to obtain funds from abroad to help our domestic semiconductor technology research."

"At the same time, if the corresponding technical standards are met, you can also export to further earn foreign exchange."

"Really?"

"real!"

"That's great!" Wang Xuewu stretched out his hands directly to Gu Weijun, shook them up and down after shaking them tightly, "Comrade Weijun, if you can help us get funds, it will solve our urgent need!"

"You don't know that when we are doing research on microprocessors and integrated circuits, the most troublesome thing is actually the problem of funds."

"Although we can make many materials independently and develop them ourselves, the related equipment has greatly hindered us."

"If the relevant equipment can be updated, I believe it will not take 2 months, 1 month, no! We can copy the 2 microprocessor in 4004 weeks!"

Gu Weijun endured Wang Xuewu's enthusiasm and had to explain quickly: "Professor Wang, please don't get excited yet."

"Conditional."

"Ah?" Wang Xuewu let go of his hand in disappointment, "I'm just wondering, how could a foreign country help us so selflessly?"

"Hey, if there are conditions, then we can't agree to it."

“I was in this country because I was studying abroad”

"What are you thinking about here?" Old Mrs. Lin waved her hand vigorously, "Come, come to my office, I will ask Gu Weijun to explain to you in detail."

"Don't even think about it. If it wasn't feasible, would I come to you?"

In the director's office, Mrs. Lin first poured water for Gu Weijun and the three of them, and then picked up the notebook and said, "Weijun, please tell us the plan again, and then we will discuss it together."

"Including the last few questions you asked: Should we form a new unit or integrate it?"

Well, I don’t know how many times I have to talk about this plan? When you see someone, say it first. Gu Weijun feels like he has become a sounding board.
"That's it!" After Gu Weijun explained the plan to utilize foreign capital as quickly as possible, he quickly drank water to moisten his throat.

Wang Xuewu's first reaction was still political, "Comrade Weijun, you are sure that the leader has issued the instructions, right?"

"Yes."

Gu Weijun showed the photocopy of the instructions to the two brothers Wang Xuewu and Wang Shoujue. When they saw the big characters of "龙飞风五", the two brothers finally let go of their nervousness and relaxed and picked up the water glasses, "That's good." Wang Xuewu He glanced at his younger brother Wang Shoujue and said, "Shoujue, tell me, you have been focusing on microprocessors in the institute."

Wang Shoujue pushed up his glasses and said, "I think the plan is fine. If this is all the foreign investment demands, it will definitely be a good thing for us."

"Many of our projects are stuck due to insufficient funding."

"As long as there is sufficient financial support, whether it is the purchase of equipment or our own research, we can solve the microprocessor problems that we are now eager to break through."

"Okay!" Old Mrs. Lin closed the notebook, "Then let me tell you my opinion first."

"This foreign capital must be invested more in our semiconductor research institute. As long as our technology improves, whether it is Factory 109, Beijing Radio Factory or Shanghai Factory , we can directly expand production."

"So, I suggest that we use our Semiconductor Research Institute as the direct cooperation unit of foreign investment."

"Let's take the lead in doing this."

Wang Xuewu did have different opinions. He shook his head slightly, "Lin Suo, but there are two points that cannot be ignored."

"One thing is that we are just a research institution without a production line. Foreign investment ultimately requires products that meet standards, not just our reproduction or breakthrough technology."

"The second point is that our research institution has no way to sign a cooperation agreement with foreign investment as the main body, including the Chinese Academy of Sciences. It must be arranged by the Government Affairs Council or the Ministry of Foreign Trade."

"If this is the case, how much funds can be allocated to us in the end? I am very worried that the Government Administration Council or the upper-level departments have other considerations, with the factory as the main body and us as auxiliary."

"So, my idea is that our Semiconductor Institute and the United Computer Institute will join forces to set up a specialized factory. Only in this way can we guarantee our research funds."

Mrs. Lin did not refute immediately, but turned to Wang Shoujue, "Shoujue, what's your opinion?"

"Institute Lin, our Institute of Semiconductor is not the only semiconductor research institute in China. There are 13 institutes in Henan and the optical instrument factory in Shanghai, all of which have corresponding research."

“In the past, the country would sometimes assign parts of the same task to our institutes, allowing multiple institutes to conduct competitive research. The advantage was that the vitality of the research institutions was maintained, but because it was the same task, a lot of manpower was wasted. Material resources.”

"My opinion is to report to the higher-ups and directly transfer all relevant research institutes and factories to establish a new unit. Only in this way can the advantages of our system be brought into play!"

Mrs. Lin and Wang Xuewu thought for a while and couldn't help but nod. The nationwide system is the magic weapon for winning major domestic project research.

"Weijun, what do you think?"

When the three professors were explaining their opinions, Gu Weijun was thinking secretly. When he heard Mrs. Lin asking, he gave his answer: "Professor Lin, I think Professor Shoujue's suggestion is the best."

"Although we have accumulated a lot of experience in the computer field. In addition to the Semiconductor Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, there are also university research institutes and factory research institutes. But if we want to make rapid technological breakthroughs, we must work together as a team. ”

"A nationwide system is the best way."

"Especially when setting up a new unit and directly signing contracts with foreign companies using modern company methods, it is also the most consistent with foreign laws and regulations."

"If foreign opposition forces rise in the future, we can continue to break it into parts and return to the original unit to make simultaneous technological improvements."

"Okay!" Old Mrs. Lin said decisively, "Weijun, you write the project report according to Shoujue and what you just said."

"Don't go looking for the Institute of Computer Science. Focus on the Institute of Semiconductors. Join the Institute of Mathematics and the Institute of Microelectronics to establish a new unit!"

Gu Weijun looked at Old Mrs. Lin in shock. Do you want to leave the computer institute to do computer research?
