Siheyuan: Craftsmen of a Great Country

Chapter 498 Standardization must start from the beginning

When the researcher took out the information, Jiang Chen cursed in his heart.

It turns out that I came prepared!

You're awesome, I let you do something big this time.

The other researchers slapped their foreheads and wondered why I didn’t think of this.

This information is not difficult to find.

In fact, if no one reminds them, these researchers who are fully focused on their research will not be aware of this problem at all.

He took the list and looked at it. It was very detailed.

The advantages and disadvantages of the two materials, cost comparison, shelf life, conductivity, possible transmission losses, etc. are all listed above.

Clear and concise, no problems at all.

Jiang Chen said slowly: "What's your opinion?"

The man said: "If the integrated circuit will be replaced within five years, it is recommended to use copper wire. If it needs to be used for five years or more, it is recommended to use gold."

Jiang Chen said: "Generally speaking, the service life of electronic products is only 5-10 years. If we use gold for all of them, the cost will be too high and it will not be popularized."

"So, first we need to study how to increase the shelf life of copper wire to ten years through the improvement of anti-oxidation technology so that it can be used in general electronic products."

"For some more expensive products that have a long service life, gold is used as the connecting wire."

The researcher nodded: "Okay!"

Jiang Chen asked: "By the way, what's your name?"

The researcher said: "Dean Jiang, my name is Wu De!"

Jiang Chen was stunned: "Wu De?"

No morals?

Don’t talk about martial ethics?

This name is really, a little ill-considered.

Wu De smiled awkwardly: "When my grandfather gave me the name, he hoped that I would be a moral person, but he probably didn't consider that we both have the surname Wu."

Jiang Chen smiled and said, "Okay, I'll remember you and do a good job in the future."

Wu De nodded excitedly: "I will."

Jiang Chen added: "See, everyone, this is the attitude to do research."

"You must dare to think and dare to act. If there is a problem, you or your team must first work hard to solve it. If you really can't solve it, you should also come to me with information, data and your own understanding, just like Comrade Wu De did."

"In this way, I can decide on the spot what I can decide. For what I am not sure about, I will find someone to discuss and confirm, or set up a special project team to open a special topic for discussion."

"Don't come to me when you have problems, and don't develop a dependency on me. You are all researchers, and you are the real authority."

"How do we gain this authority? We rely on repeated experiments and research, and eventually get results. We use the results to establish authority and use the results to defend authority."

Although this was somewhat inconsistent with what he said before about Wu De, he was not embarrassed at all.

He is not embarrassed, it is others who are embarrassed.

Then he raised his head, clapped his hands and said loudly: "Everyone stop what you are doing and come over here. I want to say a few words."

Everyone stopped what they were doing and gathered around.

When everyone stood in place, Jiang Chen said, "I just saw this comrade."

Lao Zhang quickly said, "President Jiang, my name is Lao Zhang."

Jiang Chen nodded and continued, "I just watched Lao Zhang making a circuit, and he successfully made a miniature circuit. First of all, I would like to express my affirmation and congratulations on everyone's success."

"applaud!"

Under Jiang Chen's leadership, applause broke out in the conference room.

"But." After the applause ended, Jiang Chen continued, "But, after looking at this circuit, I think I need to communicate with you and have a good chat."

"Everyone should know that the Internet has not yet appeared in the world, so we are the first to try it out, the creator, the leader, and the founder of the Internet era."

"This is a great honor, but also a challenge. Because there is no precedent, there is no reference, no stone to touch, and everything depends on ourselves."

"In other words, we are the creators of the rules. Do you know what this means?"

Everyone looked at each other, but no one said anything.

Because they have never experienced being a leader.

Even before this, I didn't even dare to think about it.

Before, most of the time, people were thinking about how to get more technology from Big Brother and how to better implement the acquired technology.

After Big Brother withdrew, everyone began to think about how to use existing technology to fill the hole left by Big Brother and ensure production.

Wu Ming tentatively asked, "Does this sentence mean that because we created this thing, no one can make rules for us, and we need to make rules for ourselves."

Jiang Chen said slowly: "You can understand it this way, but it is not comprehensive. We want to make rules, but not for ourselves, but for the whole world, so that the whole world will follow our rules."

As soon as these words were spoken, the scene became excited.

For a researcher, it is a great honor to set rules for the industry and then let the whole world follow your rules.

Jiang Chen continued: "But it is not so easy to formulate rules. In addition to leading technology, we need to consider all aspects of it."

"Lao Zhang, I used your circuit as an example, and I didn't mean to target you."

Lao Zhang said, "President Jiang, please feel free to do as you please!"

Jiang Chen raised the fingernail-sized circuit in his hand and asked, "Do you think he's good-looking?"

Everyone looked at the strange-looking circuit in Jiang Chen's hand, and those who were close said, "It doesn't look good!"

Jiang Chen asked again: "So if there are enough machine tools, do you think it can quickly replicate and produce the same product?"

Everyone shook their heads:

"no!"

“Even Zhang himself can’t produce the same product again.”

Jiang Chen nodded: "Yes, no! Why? Because we didn't set the rules in advance, it has no standards."

"If something can only be made in a laboratory but cannot be put into production, we cannot say that it is meaningless, but it must be of no help and value to the industry."

"As early as when I was at Sangang Group, I have always emphasized that our industrial production must be standardized, because only with standardization can we achieve scale."

"The reason why Sangang Machine Tool was able to go into production so quickly is because it has a full set of standardized requirements, which are very specific and clear."

"After receiving their respective drawings, any factory can independently produce parts according to the requirements of the drawings, and finally transport them to Sangang Group for assembly."

"This method saves time and effort, is highly efficient, can be put into production quickly, is less prone to errors, and is also convenient for subsequent parts replacement. This is the rule."

"We should do this even more when we do scientific research. It is not enough to research and manufacture something before we consider it a success."

"Instead, there must be a complete production process, from raw material selection to parts processing to final assembly, with a standard process and specific parameter requirements."

“And these processes and parameters should not be determined after the research and development is completed, based on the results of the research and development.”

“Instead, it should be initially formulated at the beginning of research and development based on calculations or existing reference data, and then continuously adjusted and improved based on problems encountered during the research and development process.”

“And every adjustment and improvement needs to be clearly recorded. That way, when anyone gets the relevant data, they can continue the research and development correctly.”

"It's not like you're going to do something else and then someone else gets your stuff and is completely in the dark about how to conduct follow-up research."

“In the end, once the R&D is complete, the standardized production process is determined, and the factory can start production immediately.”

Jiang Chen spoke rapidly and everyone listened very attentively and carefully.
