Chapter 590 This is called modernization
While being shocked, the two units vaguely remembered where Gao Zhendong's confidence came from.

——He has developed a set of world-leading integrated circuit manufacturing technology, and now it is time to reap the rewards.

It turns out this is what being number one in the world feels like; it’s not just a nice-sounding title.

And based on their understanding of Gao Zhendong, the time limit of "one to two years" given by Gao Zhendong, the "two years" is used as a backup, and this is also his old habit.

And his real goal is definitely about a year!
Impossible more!
The Ministry of Foreign Trade was surprised by two things.

First, to improve tenfold within one to two years is too exaggerated. They are not like the National Defense Committee and the 10th Ministry of Machine Building, who know the integrated circuit technology in detail.

Even when we set the most aggressive production target because we wanted to increase steel production so badly, it was only doubling in a year, from 1000 million to 2000 million.

Doubling in one year is already radical, and Gao Zhendong's performance, even if we take the lowest value, 10 times in two years, this span is still extremely exaggerated.

This is the charm of technology. It is not uncommon when technology makes a breakthrough beyond existing norms.

The 10-micron PMOS process is just such a leap.

After all, technical indicators and output are not the same. Output requires a lot of equipment, funds and manpower, and it takes a process to improve it, while the improvement of technology and indicators can be discontinuous.

The former is like the movement of an object, and the latter is like the transition of electrons.

As for the second thing...well, why don’t you discuss it with the Defense Work Committee?
The fact is, it’s not really necessary.

The Defense Work Committee and the 12th Ministry of Machine Building knew that Gao Zhendong's decision was definitely well-founded, and they expressed full trust and affirmation in this.

"Well, since Comrade Zhendong has said so, then you can just reply to them and see what they are up to." The leader of the Defense Work Committee said with a smile.

The chief engineer of the 12th Ministry of Machinery also nodded: "Well, since Chief Engineer Gao said so, it means he is sure of it."

In this regard, the comrades in the Ministry of Foreign Trade could only sigh that if they had the ability, they could do whatever they wanted. However, it was obvious that the head of the Ministry of Foreign Trade was not at all concerned.

Instead, he was looking forward to something else. If computers really made such a leap forward in a year or two, did that mean that DJS-60D could be included in the export license?
He is very happy here, but the comrades in charge of specific work in the Ministry of Foreign Trade still have their own work to do.

"Chief Engineer Gao, can you please share with us your guess about the other party's actual goal? If we can grasp it in advance, it will be helpful for us to deal with it. Of course, if it is inconvenient to talk about it, that's fine too."

The bad thing about being in the Defense Work Committee and having a meeting with people they value very much is that people who have connections with this unit are all "unspeakable" and being too curious can easily cause problems.

Gao Zhendong thought about it and decided to reveal a little bit to facilitate the work of the comrades in the Ministry of Foreign Trade.

"I suspect that the software they are talking about is an industrial software." Gao Zhendong expressed his guess, but did not mention the reason for his guess at all.

He now has the identity and confidence to give you a conclusion, but I won’t tell you the reason.

That’s right, the first thing Gao Zhendong suspected was the CATIA of Triangle Aircraft Company.

The original set of things was developed in 77, but this does not mean that no one wanted to do it before 77. The reason why it was not started until 77 was due to the technical environment, such as the computer itself, the development environment, etc.

The experience, theory, and mathematical and physical foundations of industrial software have always been there waiting for us, never leaving us.

Rather, it is because the technical and environmental conditions are not sufficient that I cannot marry this virtuous young lady.

“Industrial software?” Everyone was a little confused. Does this thing exist?
"Yes, it is software that uses computers to design, analyze, and manufacture industrial products." Gao Zhendong did not use the jargon that is now common on the Internet. Instead, he explained the concept of industrial software in one sentence from the most basic and essential perspective.

In fact, when we peel off the outer shells of many technologies, concepts, and jargon, we will find that the underlying technologies they are based on are still the same things, but they are given those mysterious or even fantastic names and promotional copy for the sake of packaging and publicity.

But everyone was still a little confused when they heard it.

"Design? Are you referring to the theoretical analysis and calculations performed when designing industrial products?" Some people understand a little bit, but that's all they know. This application direction is really too advanced.

"That's part of it, but it's not complete. Let me give you an example. Maybe one day, we can directly design the shape and structure of parts on the computer, perform stress analysis and use simulation on the computer, and use the design results through the computer to directly control the machine tool for production and processing!"

All the comrades present were familiar with the industry, and for a moment, they were all intoxicated by the prospects described by Gao Zhendong.

Everyone was imagining what Gao Zhendong was saying. In the research institute, researchers in white coats sat in front of computer monitors, typing away on the keyboards. On the monitors, parts gradually took shape.

The testers do not need to do too many tests. Just by pressing the keyboard in front of the computer, they can know whether the design of the part meets the requirements. These design results that have been analyzed and verified are sent to the factory.

In the factory, workers in blue work clothes looked at machines one by one. They didn't need to do much operation. Just by pressing the keyboard, all kinds of parts were processed and sent to the final assembly line.

……

It's so wonderful, this is fucking modern!

Why can they only think about pressing the keyboard? Because the mouse/trackball is still in Gao Zhendong's mind.

Besides, the keyboard is more important than the mouse. Haven’t you seen that in the future there will only be “keyboard warriors” but no “mouse warriors”.

"Will there really be such a day?" the leader of the Defense Work Committee murmured to himself.

"There will always be such a day, I believe, it's just a difference in degree, but the general direction will not change." Gao Zhendong said seriously.

"If it is really industrial software, then we need to cooperate with the outside world. This is a very rare opportunity. Our industrialization process has just begun. In any case, our experience and knowledge in industrial design are not as rich as those of the old industrial countries. Learning from the strong points of foreigners is not a bad thing, but I am afraid that I will not have this opportunity to learn."

Gao Zhendong spoke very realistically, and this is also the current state of our industrial development, and everyone listened to him.

The leader of the Ministry of Foreign Trade took this matter very seriously at this time. He understood that this was not just a matter of making a little money: "You must keep Comrade Gao Zhendong's ideas in mind, be flexible but keep your eyes on the target, and handle this matter well."

Gao Zhendong also gave his own suggestions: "Be neither humble nor overbearing. These foreign devils only care about food and not war. We can't be too polite. Besides, they are asking us for help. This software is not for centralized use, but for a large number of designers to use at the same time, and it needs to be continuously evolved and developed."

"The computer it relies on must be universal, expandable, and continuous, and its performance must be good enough, and the price cannot be too high. I dare to make this conclusion now. The computer that meets this requirement is the only one in the world, except for the one I said I would make within two years!"

The people present only then understood a little bit why Gao Zhendong could come up with such a decision just by talking about the word "overall development" and tapping the table for a while.

Sure enough, when it comes to computers, he knows the most.

The comrades from the Ministry of Foreign Trade also understood it. Since it was a unique business, it would be easy to deal with.

If you need something from the other party, then you have to take a low profile, but if the situation is the other way around, then you have to take a high profile.

If we all keep a low profile, these Japs will dare to take advantage of us.

"Okay, I understand, Chief Engineer Gao. Let's reply to the other party in this way first, and then report to the relevant comrades at any time based on the feedback and do a good job in the next step." The comrades from the Foreign Trade Department took note of it.

The leader of the Ministry of Foreign Trade added: "Please pay attention to the situation related to this matter and report it to Comrade Gao Zhendong in a timely manner!"

"Okay, leader."

It is said that this comrade from the Ministry of Foreign Trade had a higher administrative level than Gao Zhendong. When their leader said, "Report to Comrade Gao Zhendong," all the comrades present were stunned.

Think about it again, Gao Zhendong's administrative level is not high, but his technical level is high, so there is no problem.

Comrade Gao Zhendong's level is a bit rogue. When he meets a technical person, he talks to you about administration, and when he meets an administrative person, he talks to you about technology.

Finally, the comrades from the Ministry of Foreign Trade left happily, and the comrades from the 12th Ministry of Machine Building also said goodbye first, especially the chief engineer, who heard another good news today and had to go back quickly to share it with the leaders.

The leader of the Defense Work Committee looked at Gao Zhendong, thought for a long time, and only uttered a few words: "Zhendong, take care of yourself."

Gao Zhendong knew what his leader was thinking and what he was worried about, and smiled and said, "It's okay, everything is fine. My wife is a successful medical student, she cooks delicious food, and she takes good care of me."

"Hahaha, that's good, that's good, then I'm relieved." The leader laughed. In fact, he also knew that Lou Xiao'e had only studied medicine for half a year. What results could she achieve in such a short time? What does this have to do with cooking? To put it another way, cooking well is good for Gao Zhendong's work status, but it can't solve the fundamental problem.

Gao Zhendong said this just to find a reason to reassure him. As for work, it is estimated that this young man will still do what he is supposed to do and is reluctant to give up at all.

In his opinion, Gao Zhendong is full of revolutionary optimism. What a good young man!
