Chapter 380 Can this thing be sold?

After Gao Zhendong's complete explanation from principle to technology to practice, they felt that the process proposed by Chief Engineer Gao had a solid foundation, advanced technology, feasible principles and comprehensive practice.

How should I put it? It’s a bit like the feeling Gao Zhendong had in his previous life when he listened to his mentor holding a meeting to decide on plans and routes for his seniors. Is this the style of a big boss?

And the best part is that, although the technology is very advanced, the supporting technology needed is just at the threshold of existing technology. It is slightly ahead of existing technology, but not so advanced that it is impossible to achieve. The combination of these slightly advanced technologies has accomplished things that were unimaginable before.

——Logic integrated circuit.

This made Factory 1274, which once had difficulties in producing crystal triodes, feel a little unreal. Is this something we can do?
Although Chief Engineer Gao found another channel to complete the most difficult and troublesome lithography machine on his own, they still felt that there seemed to be something wrong with this matter, as if it was a bit too simple.

In fact, this is also a good choice by Gao Zhendong, and the process is still in its early stages, so many things don’t need to be considered. For example, at this time, no one working on integrated circuits would consider the problem of quantum tunneling, which only needs to be paid attention to in the VLSI (very large-scale integrated circuit) era.

"Chief Engineer Gao, is this all we need to do?"

Director Lu from Factory 1274 asked with some trepidation.

Gao Zhendong smiled and said, "Of course there are more than that. The packaging part is all left to you."

After saying that, Gao Zhendong turned to the back of the process design guidance document.

Packaging is also a big part of the process, but the packaging at this time is much simpler than in the future. The transistors and other components in the chip are large, so the requirements for many things are not so high.

Slicing, welding, pin bonding, microscopic inspection, testing, packaging, inspection, etc. can all be done with slight improvements on their existing equipment, or in other words, they can all be completed by introducing ready-made technology. Therefore, Gao Zhendong did not say more in this regard. The comrades at Factory 1274 are better at these things than he is.

Sure enough, after Director Lu and Chief Engineer Lu, along with the technical staff, browsed through this part of the content, they breathed a sigh of relief.

No problem, we can do it, and it is our strong point. Although there are some troubles in some places, the requirements and routes are very clear, and they can think of many solutions on the spot.

Some of the technologies that were pre-researched for bipolar processes in the early stages can also be used. After all, in this regard, there is not much difference between bipolar and PMOS.

It's worth mentioning that although the technical principles of the process developed by Chief Engineer Gao, from chip manufacturing to testing and packaging, are completely different, it is actually very consistent with some of the preliminary research they did in the early stage, and the technical means of the preliminary research have basically not been wasted.

I admire you so much. You really consider every aspect of the problem.

This made them feel more involved. They were finally not in the dark anymore and could do something practical with confidence.

The comrades from Factory 1274 returned happily with Gao Zhendong's materials and resumed the research project on integrated circuit technology.

Before leaving, Gao Zhendong reminded: "Director Lu, Chief Engineer Lu, please focus on the renovation of the diffusion furnace first. I can be of use elsewhere. I will send you the professionals in computer control and thermocouple application mentioned earlier."

The two of them quickly agreed. Wow, Chief Engineer Gao is really frugal when doing research projects. One thing can be used in several different projects.

After they left, Gao Zhendong called Fang Yinghong and invited her over.

"Sister Fang, now we have another difficult task. Do you have confidence?" Gao Zhendong did not ask whether they were interested. At this time, comrades would be interested in any task you gave them.

"I have confidence. Even if there are problems, we still have you, Mr. Gao, haha." Sister Fang laughed, very free and easy. People who work under Gao Zhendong have this inexplicable confidence.

It seems that supporting the technical transformation of other factories has boosted Sister Fang's self-confidence a lot.

That's true. When you are asked to preside over an important task, the comrades around you will revolve around you and cooperate with you. If you encounter difficulties, the organization and leaders will coordinate and solve them. No matter who you are in, they will be full of confidence.

Gao Zhendong told Sister Fang about sending her to Factory 1274 to assist in improving the diffusion furnace, and Sister Fang was happy.

Another big job!

I’m sure I’ll get the engineer title this year!

If supporting the technological transformation of steelmaking processes in external factories is not so stable, adding this will basically make it as stable as a rock.

As a senior technician who often deals with electronics and computers, although I am not an engineer yet, I have a very deep understanding of this area.

When it comes to integrated circuit technology, any involvement in it is considered a great achievement. Although there is no distinction between high and low jobs, everyone wants to do more meaningful work if they have the conditions. This is not called being picky, this is called being positive.

Moreover, the task assigned by General Manager Gao was tailor-made for her, especially after she returned from the process and technology transformation at another unit.

"Boss Gao, don't worry, I will definitely do a good job on this matter!"

Gao Zhendong nodded: "That's fine, I believe Sister Fang will be fine. If you have any difficulties, please report them to your family in time. Go and pick two people to go with you, and once you've chosen them, go to Director Yan to handle the formalities."

Fang Yinghong said "Hey" cheerfully and walked out the door in a heroic manner. Before leaving, Gao Zhendong remembered something and stopped her: "Here is a book I wrote on automatic control. It is more theoretical and only has the first half, but it should be useful for dealing with this matter. Take it with you."

"Principles of Automatic Control" (Volume 1), a thick book with pure hand-bound printed manuscript by the "Printing Immortal" of the Sanfen Factory.

Fang Yinghong took it with a look of surprise, flipped through it, and her eyes lit up: "Good stuff, Mr. Gao, this one belongs to me, you can't take it back. Come on, sign it for me."

Gao Zhendong laughed and signed his name casually: "This is for you."

Fang Yinghong happily left with the book.

After finishing these things, Gao Zhendong put the matter of integrated circuits aside. Next, this aspect would depend on the efforts of all parties, and he just had to wait for the problem to be solved.

In the Ministry of Foreign Trade in Beijing, a comrade was scratching his head while holding a letter from overseas.

I have never seen this before. I have never sold this kind of thing. I don't know how to deal with it.

After thinking it over, he took this thing and went to find his responsible leader. He really didn't understand this thing.

After a while, the leader in charge was confused when he received the letter. What the hell is this? Can this thing be sold?
Holding the letter, he thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't get the point. Okay, I'll go find the leader too.

This letter was like a buoy, floating up layer by layer, and finally, it landed on the desk of the leader of the Ministry of Foreign Trade.

The leader of the Ministry of Foreign Trade looked at this thing and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Foreigners just like to play around, so why would they buy this thing?

This letter is a business consultation letter sent by an entertainment company of Gallic Chicken to our Ministry of Foreign Trade on behalf of Mr. Senna.

The content is very simple. This entertainment company wants to obtain the authorization of an entertainment program called "TCS". No, they call it Jeu - game. They hope to remake this game and put it into their own entertainment equipment.

The capital of Gaul, as a signatory to the Convention for the Protection of Industrial Property, still has some moral integrity. It did not directly copy the goods, but instead extended an olive branch to this side through the department responsible for foreign trade.

There is no other way.

No wonder no one can handle it. People here know that the program can be sold, but selling the license or adaptation rights is the first time they have encountered it. How do they sell it?

Loosely speaking, this means you can charge for an idea.

The cause of the incident was that when the DJS-59 official refurbished machines were exported, Snake was included as part of the system on some of the machines used by the Institute of Computing Technology and was not removed.

The Gallic entertainment company originally purchased the DJS-59 from their import department for the development of entertainment equipment. After all, this is a computer from the hometown of the C language, so it should be great for C language programming.

Once the system is developed, it can be transplanted to entertainment devices through circuit solidification. If this method is used properly, there is no need for a full-fledged computer to be used on the entertainment devices.

Unexpectedly, I found a treasure on it, TCS!

They ran Snake once and were quickly hooked.

The operation is simple and easy to use. The equipment requirements are not high and it can be supported by a general-purpose computer. It is also very fun, ever-changing and can be played repeatedly.

This is the perfect game we are looking for! I didn’t expect that the entertainment activities over there are so advanced?

They were so excited that they immediately found the department in charge of foreign trade and asked for authorization for the game.

So, this letter that caused headaches for the comrades in the Ministry of Foreign Trade appeared here.

The head of the Ministry of Foreign Trade looked at the letter and said to himself, "These foreigners must be bored to death. Why are they buying things like this?"

He didn't know that this thing would become one of the bulk commodities in the IT industry in the future.

He had never sold this thing, but it seemed a bit of a pity to give it up. It was a business with no investment, and it would seem a bit of a waste to just throw it away.

After thinking it over, he called the 12th Ministry of Machine Building and said, "You are the ones who caused this incident. You have to help us come up with a solution."

The process of the 12th Ministry of Machine Building was the opposite of that of the Ministry of Foreign Trade. It went down layer by layer and finally reached the Institute of Calculation.

The comrades from the Computing Institute were stunned when they heard this. This thing was not written by General Gao for his own amusement. No, it was written to improve the brain. Of course, our comrades also like to use it to improve the brain.

So Chief Engineer Chi of the Operation Institute reported the news to the Ministry of Foreign Trade: You have to find Comrade Gao Zhendong of the Third Rolling Mill of the Seventeenth Ministry of Machine Building for this matter. It is all his credit.
