Military Industry of Great Powers: Build the Strongest Flanker

On March 21, Zhao Guoqing finalized the EDA software design plan, set off early the next morning, and drove directly back to Hongze.

The General Staff not only sent guard and driver Li Taibao, but also sent a Beijing jeep to follow, saying that he wanted to help move things.

The driver of the jeep is a young man from Langzhou named Li Maocheng. He likes spicy food. His snack is dried pepper. He even took out his inventory to share with Zhao Guoqing.

Good guy, a chili requires a bottle of water as the antidote. It’s not that I can’t eat it, but my bladder can’t hold that much water.

The telegram was sent back a month ago. Zhao Guoqing also received a telegram from his parents. He hadn't been home for the New Year in two years. His parents also wanted to come and see where he worked. Maybe they just wanted to come and have a look.

As parents, we don’t want to cause trouble to our children, just like in another time and space, we would have tried every means to avoid taking them to the United States.

But seeing that it wouldn't cause any trouble, I settled down with peace of mind.

The road conditions from Lucheng to Hongze were not very good, but fortunately Santana's strong ability to adapt to road conditions made it smooth. However, the Jingcheng Jeep was miserable. After driving less than 100 kilometers, it had to stop for a rest and check. There was a malfunction, and Zhao Guoqing thought it was a trip this time...

…………

While Zhao Guoqing was bumping along the road, the announcement of 101 in mainstream newspapers directly detonated the scientific research community.

101 Institute is willing to spend 20 million to cooperate with major universities, research institutes, and enterprises to develop third-generation lithography machines!

In this era when every family is short of money, even Tsinghua University and Harbin University, two key units that are researching lithography machines, have not received funding for new projects.

In fact, there are objective reasons.

China's semiconductor chips have no support from the civilian market. Except for the military, there is basically no civilian demand for lithography machines.

And buying chips is very convenient, cheap and performs well.

Using the most advanced domestic photolithography machine, the latest model from Tsinghua University, to manufacture chips, no matter how cheap the labor is, the suffocating yield rate has pushed the price of the chip to an unbearable level.

In addition, there is no foundation for chip design, and there is no intellectual property authorization for foreign chips.

Difficulty moving.

Moreover, the key parameters of chip manufacturing: the process is even a little higher than other commercial processes.

This reality gives people an obvious illusion.

Even if the technology is not lagging behind, it is still ahead, but the research is useless and the investment is relatively large, so why continue to spend money?

This is where the idea that it is better to buy than to build and to rent is worse than buying.

The biggest shock to the scientific research community when Institute 101 spent money to research lithography machines was not the lithography machines, but the 20 million yuan.

One word "trench".

Four words: "the trench is inhumane".

As long as you are on the list, you will get one million, and 101 Institute is full of sincerity.

One million at this time is not small money, it is equivalent to more than 100 million in a few decades.

But how to get on the list, you can only show your true skills and see the quality of your subjects and the degree of completion.

If there are no national projects, you can do it. Institute 101 will give you projects. If you can solve them, you can also be included in the directory.

One million is not a one-time thing, as long as it is on the list, it will be one million a year.

For this funding, the scientific research community began to go crazy...

…

Director Liu of the General Staff was in the air, investigating the testing progress of the phased array radar.

Although it has been tested for more than a year and has been finalized, mass production is still some way off.

Military equipment has extremely high requirements for reliability and needs to maintain normal operation in various extreme scenarios.

Chief Engineer Ji Hongbo and Chief Engineer Lu Zhen are the technical experts who promoted the test.

Mu Hu has been telling Liu Qing to carry out research on full-scale phased array radar as soon as possible.

When four people are together, Zhao Guoqing is a topic that can never be avoided.

Mu Hu said to Liu Qing: "Chief Commander Xiao Zhao is not doing his job again. What kind of photolithography machine? The J-7 is now equipped with a phased array, and the J-H-7 and J-82 haven't installed a phased array radar yet. You guys The General Staff has no plans?"

Ji Hongbo smiled and said: "Mr. Mu, this is not a failure to do your job properly. The reason why our radar can see far and hit accurately is inseparable from the chip. The photolithography machine is used to make chips. This is called the desire to work well." To do anything, you must first sharpen your tools!"

Chief Engineer Gou Zhen also nodded in agreement.

Liu Qing sighed with emotion, Zhao Guoqing has really grown up.

He still remembered that when he first met Zhao Guoqing three years ago, the light-emitting semiconductor he was talking about had already been realized.

And the blueprint drawn up in his office last year is slowly becoming a reality.

"Even this kid is too bold!"

He is the first person in the country to pay himself a salary of two to three thousand.

However, the value created by this kid is also jaw-dropping. Just by doing it casually, he solved the big problem of national program-controlled telephones.

The Ministry of Science and Technology has calculated that this alone will save the country at least tens of billions of dollars in foreign exchange.

Others don’t know what 101 is doing?

The General Staff is very transparent about the content of 101.

Not many people in China understand the EDA software used for chip design. Experts within the General Staff found out after reading foreign journals that it is quite cutting-edge technology.

The research on semiconductor materials, including the indium antimonide material used for infrared photosensitivity, has made breakthrough progress, but it seems that in 101 Institute, this is just an inconspicuous progress.

Of the ten million U.S. dollars in foreign exchange, he unexpectedly used twenty million U.S. dollars and found unforeseen ways to import a large number of advanced equipment. These equipment were not available to some countries even if they wanted to buy them.

101 Institute can now be regarded as the top research institute in the country.

"How long has it been!"

Liu Qing couldn't even imagine what Institute 101 would look like in three to five years.

In addition to the initial three million and the ten million allocated by Huizhou Province, Institute 101 has no allocation.

Now, they have more money than they can spend.

Mu Hu raised his hand and pointed at the program-controlled telephone network he was using.

"Southwest Air Force has installed a batch of Siemens program-controlled telephone switches. The quality of the German products is good. But the terrible thing is that Air China sent people to check the lines once and found more than 20 monitors. On the contrary, what kind of encryption is used in our domestic ones? , even foreigners can’t hear it. Speaking of which, General Master Zhao is really amazing!”

you do not say! Ji Hongbo also didn't expect that Zhao Guoqing would first work on the program-controlled telephone exchange and succeed in one fell swoop, knocking down even Hucheng Bell.

And Hui Province has really benefited.

"The most amazing thing is that it can be expanded at any time. When the interfaces of Siemens' program-controlled switches are used up, if you add another one, you have to buy another one. For the domestic ones, just add a module. If you want to save more trouble, just save more trouble!"

Muhu was full of praise for the program-controlled switchboard of Shutong Electronics Factory, and his eyes revealed the meaning of "Whoever uses it will know", but what he received was just the attitude that should be taken.

Zhao Guoqing is a god, they all obey him!
