Chapter 274: The First Case in China
Blocking is different from suspension. Blocking is a passive behavior caused by unsatisfied resources, while suspension not only includes blocking but also active suspension required for program running. Wake-up and activation are similar.

After completing these six operations, the process control is basically formed, and Gao Zhendong is now struggling with these things. It can be predicted that the struggle will take quite some time.

On Monday morning, the leader of the 17th Ministry of Machine Building was holding two component customization negotiation letters forwarded by the Defense Work Committee, one from the Guidance Research Institute and the other from an undisclosed unit in the desert, with a look of surprise on his face.

When did Gao Zhendong come up with something new? Why didn't we hear any news about it? Maybe Gao Zhendong himself thought that this thing was nothing special and not worth reporting?

But judging by the reactions of these two units, this thing must have its merits, otherwise they wouldn't be so eager to do so.

"No, we have to give Gao Zhendong a heads up. Even if he thinks the work he made is shit, he has to report it to the department. It's a bit unbearable to have such surprises all the time."

What he didn't know was that today, there was a big surprise waiting for him.

It’s not that the leader has nothing to do and has to take care of every little thing, but first of all, he has given instructions and all matters concerning the Third Steel Rolling Mill and Gao Zhendong, no matter how small, must be reported to him.

Secondly, these two lists were transferred from the Defense Work Committee, and they involved some undisclosed units in the desert, so it was necessary to come to him.

He called his secretary in. The new secretary's surname was Sun and he was a graduate of a metallurgical-related major. In a professional ministry, many secretaries have professional backgrounds these days.

"Xiao Sun, call the confidential office. First, reply to the Defense Work Committee that our department agrees to cooperate with the customization requirements. Second, send these two consultation letters to the Third Steel Rolling Mill and ask them to handle them accordingly. Third, notify the Third Steel Rolling Mill to send the materials involved in these two consultation letters to the Ministry."

Secretary Sun took note of it carefully and turned around to go out to do his work.

The leader laughed and shook his head: "Really? I'm the last one to know about the things on my territory. How shameful! How shameful!"

He was complaining, but his face was smiling.

In fact, he had seen related things. The funds for tungsten-molybdenum alloy were special funds approved by the ministry, plus a part of the funds from the Third Steel Rolling Mill.

However, many things in the research plan were vague. That is to say, Gao Zhendong wrote the report. If someone else had written the report, it would have been sent back for redoing.

It’s just that Gao Zhendong has made the tungsten-molybdenum alloy, but he wanted to complete the project together with the two types of tungsten-copper, so the department doesn’t know about this yet.

At the same time, Gao Zhendong was looking at the test reports of the three single crystal silicon rods brought by Yu Yuncheng. The conditions of all three were very good. In terms of the most important impurity concentration, all three were within the range of 3~5ppm. It can be said that the purity of the single crystal silicon rods is stable.

There were no problems with other parameters either. Everything indicated that the single crystal furnace was successful, and the accompanying single crystal silicon pulling process was also successful.

After Gao Zhendong finished reading it, he smiled and said, "It's stable, Lao Yu, have you finished writing the materials?"

Yu Yuncheng took out the materials and said, "It's finished. Here it is. Take a look."

He is not in the habit of writing documents on the computer yet. Besides, there is no printer, so it is useless to write them, so he still writes them by hand.

Gao Zhendong took it and read it carefully. There were no technical problems, so he changed a few places such as the wording, signed his name, and returned it to Yu Yuncheng.

"Show it to our Chief Engineer Chen. After he makes the changes, ask him to sign it, and then make six copies."

"Six servings? So many?" Yu Yuncheng was a little confused.

Gao Zhendong smiled and said, "Three copies will be submitted to the 1761th Ministry of Machine Building, the th Ministry of Machine Building, and the Chinese Academy of Sciences along with the silicon single crystal rod samples. The other three copies will be kept by the project team, one will be sent to our factory office, and one will be sent to your Institute. You have been here for so long, you should report the good news as soon as possible, haha."

Yu Yuncheng finally came to his senses and praised Gao Zhendong for being thoughtful.

There was one more thing Gao Zhendong didn't say, which was to directly send it to all units for public notification, so as to eliminate the possibility that anyone in your side might have any bad intentions towards you.

Although the possibility is not high, Gao Zhendong wants to eliminate every possibility to prevent Yu Yuncheng from suffering any loss.

Yu Yuncheng took the report and turned to go to work.

While debugging the single-board computer, Gao Zhendong couldn't help humming a song. With the single crystal furnace, he could do a lot more things.

Before noon, the Ministry's consultation letter from the Defense Work Committee was delivered to the factory, leaving Director Yang and Old Chen confused. Non-iron-based high-temperature alloy? We have this thing? How come I don't know about it? Hmm? Was it Gao Zhendong's fault? That's fine.

In all the correspondence, there was no mention of tungsten and molybdenum. They were all replaced by non-iron-based high-temperature alloys. As for the official name, it is still waiting for the completion of the project. However, according to convention, it should be another vague name like 60X. Last year was 59 years, and this year is 60 years.

The two men met and quickly invited Gao Zhendong over. As soon as Gao Zhendong came in, Director Yang smiled and said, "Zhendong, I heard that you have come up with a new thing? How come the factory doesn't know about it yet, and people from outside have come to our door."

Gao Zhendong thought about it and thought it might be tungsten-molybdenum alloy. He smiled and said, "It should be tungsten-molybdenum alloy. This material and the other two materials were applied for research in the same batch. The department and the factory have both provided funding. The other two have not been completed yet, so they have not been reported yet."

Director Yang also remembered this matter, and handed the letter from the ministry to Gao Zhendong, saying with a smile: "The ministry told you to report to the ministry immediately if you come up with anything new. Haha, I guess you were caught off guard by these two negotiation letters. If you have anything new, report it quickly."

Gao Zhendong took it and smiled: "Okay, okay, I have learned my lesson. I will really report it to the department today."

"Huh??!" Director Yang was just joking, but he didn't expect it to be true?! Thinking about it, didn't their laboratory go out for dinner again last Saturday? This must be the matter.

Old Chen became interested: "What is it?"

Gao Zhendong said: "The single crystal furnace has been developed, and the process of pulling single crystal silicon has also matured. Last Saturday, we pulled three single crystal silicon, the purity of which was above 5 nines, and other properties also fully met the requirements. As far as we know, this is the first case in China."

"Three? All successful?" Old Chen knew what this meant, that is, the process of pulling single crystal silicon was fully mature. Although it was impossible to achieve a 100% yield rate when it was officially put into production, it would definitely be able to control the yield rate within a good range.

Director Yang suddenly felt like he was sitting at home, feeling overjoyed. He held out his hand and said, "Where's the report? Let me take a look."

Gao Zhendong shook his head. "Comrade Yu Yuncheng from the 1761 Institute is currently revising it. It will probably be sent to Master for signature soon. But here is a test record that you can take a look at first."

Director Yang took it over. Although he was not familiar with monocrystalline silicon, just looking at the strings of "qualified", "normal", and "meets requirements" on the record was enough for him.

Single crystal, these days, anything with this word is not a simple thing, let alone mass-produced single crystal. Director Yang has dealt with many polycrystalline materials, such as steel, but this is the first time he has experienced single crystals at such a close distance.

Chief Engineer Chen asked, "Are those three silicon single crystals still in the factory?"

Gao Zhendong nodded and said, "Yes, after the report is revised, it will be submitted to the Ministry, the 12th Ministry of Machine Building, and the National Academy of Sciences, and the National Academy of Sciences will make the final appraisal."

Director Yang and Lao Chen looked at each other and said, "Let's go and take a look!"

For a moment, they even put the matter of the negotiation letter aside, and under the leadership of Gao Zhendong, they excitedly ran towards the single crystal furnace laboratory.

In the single crystal furnace laboratory, the two men stared at the three single crystal rods that were well-proportioned, had the same diameter, and emitted a dark luster, their eyes fascinated.

Lao Chen stretched out his hand and was about to touch it, but he immediately took it back and smiled awkwardly: "Hehe, I almost made a mistake."

Gao Zhendong handed them two pairs of gloves and said with a smile: "Actually, now that it's out, it's no longer a problem. This thing is still hard."

The two of them put on gloves anyway and reached out to touch the crystal.

Director Yang laughed as he touched it: "Why do I feel that this thing is still hot, haha."

Old Chen laughed at him: "It's not the crystal that's hot, it's your heart that's hot, hahahaha."

The two looked at each other and laughed. This had nothing to do with their promotion or wealth. It was just a simple feeling of "adding another brick to the construction of the motherland."

Director Yang turned around and called the comrades in the laboratory: "Pick one person to go and call the comrades from the Propaganda Department over."

This is another "first in China". Although it cannot be compared with the "world's first" like laser, it is different from laser which was basically developed by Gao Zhendong alone. This thing was achieved through the joint efforts of the employees of the Third Steel Rolling Plant and the comrades of the 1761 Institute, led by Comrade Gao Zhendong, and after months of hard research, it was finally succeeded. It is also worth mentioning in publicity.

Something seemed wrong? A few months didn't seem like a long time. Maybe Gao Zhendong had spoiled me.

During this break, Director Yang remembered the negotiation letter: "By the way, Zhendong, you should immediately organize a confidential workshop to start producing your non-iron-based high-temperature alloy components according to the requirements of the negotiation letter. In addition, don't forget to report the situation of this alloy to the department first, and don't wait for the other two materials. The first one to come will be forged first, and the later ones will wait for a while."

Gao Zhendong nodded and asked someone to ask the comrades in the confidential office to come and pick up the document. He had already written the report on tungsten-molybdenum alloy, so he simply sent it to the department first.

The director of the Propaganda Department soon came with the "first batch" of the Propaganda Department. Along with him came a comrade with a camera - the factory reporter of the Propaganda Department.

After hearing Director Yang's request, they immediately took photos, copied documents, and interviewed people. Gao Zhendong even joked, "Hurry up and take photos, we will be sent away soon, haha."
