Chapter 169, Ion Source (please subscribe)
Starting from September last year, that is, September 1959, Fairchild Semiconductor Company learned that the mainland had developed a 100-micron transistor.
Robert Noyce and seven shareholders took action and led researchers and scientists from the entire company to stay in the laboratory for four full months.
Finally, around January, we successfully produced a 200-micron transistor product.
In the blink of an eye, China Resources announced that they would sell 100-micron transistors at a unit price of fifty US dollars.
The price is expensive and extremely insulting.
Just because the price is exactly the same as the price of electronic tubes back then.
Even so, this has nothing to do with Fairchild Semiconductor. They can spend $50,000 to buy a thousand transistors.
The wealthy Noyce and others paid the money and had people take airline flights to bring the products back to Silicon Valley as quickly as possible.
After receiving the product, twenty transistors were sent to the laboratory, and the rest were used to make chips.
However, in the spring season of March, when Noyce and others thought it would be a bumper harvest season, they did not expect that China Resources suddenly announced a price cut.
Why the price reduction?
The furious Noyce and others were not fools, and of course they quickly guessed the fact.
That is, the mainland has already developed, or will soon develop, smaller-sized transistors.
Or, for a more pessimistic idea, they have already started mass production in the mainland.
This is definitely bad news!
Especially for Fairchild Semiconductor, it was a bolt from the blue.
Don't be such a bully!
The frowning Noyce, Blank and other company executives took the time to discuss countermeasures and overcome the immediate difficulties.
For their company, there is currently another advantage, which is to purchase more one-hundred-micron transistors, and then make more chips to sell to IBM, Control Data Corporation (computer company), Ector Mochley Computer Company and other companies.
These companies all have a huge demand for chips. Not to mention IBM, which is already listed, even Ector Mochley Computer Company also has a huge demand.
Ector Mochley Computer Company was the first manufacturer of commercial computers in North America, and the UNIVAC I computer it developed was mainly sold to important customers such as Aerospace Aeronautics and Astronautics, the North American National Weather Service, and the Department of Defense.
Therefore, from this point of view, Fairchild Semiconductor can only take this path if it wants to get out of its temporary predicament.
Otherwise, once IBM, Texas Instruments, etc. react, they will never give Fairchild Semiconductor a single chance.
Not to mention the plight of Fairchild Semiconductor, Chen Guohua has been living a very leisurely and contented life recently.
In early March, Chen Guohua took his three little ones, Yu Moli and the others back to Majiafeng and stayed overnight in the village.
They were on an outing, so their little life shouldn't be too beautiful.
Although it is March when everything recovers, the temperature in Beijing is still very low, and there is still a late spring cold.
Therefore, even though Yu Moli was about five months pregnant, she did not show her pregnancy in thick clothes.
If it were some time later, in May, then it would definitely be impossible to hide it.
Being able to go out for an outing and relax, Yu Moli was in a very beautiful mood.
She was in a good mood, and everyone was happy too.
After the outing, Chen Guohua returned to the city and devoted himself to scientific research again.
And all the 150 college students who came from all over the country were already in place.
Gathered in the office of Wudaokou Zhenhua Research Institute, a large group of people really looked like that.
"Hello everyone, welcome to our Zhenhua Research Institute. Give yourselves a warm round of applause. Thank you for coming."
On the podium, Chen Guohua smiled and spoke.
In the audience, Xue Jinquan, Zhang Jichuan, Lu Zijing, and Wan Fusen, who were about to become teachers, were smiling on the surface, but in fact, they were whispering to each other.
For super academics like them, it is normal for them to miss out in class.
What's more, this is not the first time they have experienced such a situation.
Anyway, Lao Chen's speech inevitably instilled chicken soup and injected chicken blood into everyone.
Otherwise, how to mobilize the atmosphere?
All four of them have very good grades and have a good grasp of general knowledge in wafer manufacturing and chip manufacturing.
Therefore, it is definitely a very good choice to give them the task of training new employees.
Of course Chen Guohua believed in his vision and was sure that Xue Jinquan and the others would not let down his choice.
Training professional and technical knowledge to these newcomers should not be a big problem for them.
Compared with Xue Jinquan and others who were relaxed and comfortable, one hundred and fifty prospective college graduates such as Jiang Quemin, Zhao Mengyin, Guo Haoran, Shu Xingbei, etc., listened to Chen Guohua seriously with feelings of confusion, anxiety, and restraint. Speech.
Coming to Zhenhua Research Institute was not their choice, to be precise, it was the school's arrangement.
They themselves were found by the teacher in a daze. After listening to the teacher's words, they took the letter of introduction, train tickets, national food stamps, etc. and boarded the train to the capital directly.
But whether they should say it or not, Chen Guohua's words had a magical power that quickly calmed them down.
The one hundred and fifty of them were divided into four groups, two groups of thirty-seven people, and the other two groups of thirty-eight people.
Learn the knowledge of wafer manufacturing and chip manufacturing respectively.
Hearing this, Jiang Quemin and the others were shocked: Aren't we here to work? How did you come to study?
But before coming, the teacher warned that Zhenhua Research Institute is a military industrial enterprise.
In other words, they are soldiers when they come.
Soldiers have to obey orders, and since they are college students, their quality must be very good.
Even if you have a question, just raise your hand and ask.
"Director Chen, why do we still have to study? Aren't we here to work?"
Hearing this, Chen Guohua looked at Zhao Mengyin with a smile, and was about to speak when he heard the laughter of Xue Jinquan and the other four.
"Comrade Xue Jinquan, do you think it's funny?"
"No no!"
When the four of them saw Chen Guohua put away his smile, they immediately panicked and quickly denied it.
They were a little carried away just now, but they couldn't hold back and laughed.
It's actually a bit too much.
"Huh, you guys weren't any better than them back then, so why are you qualified to laugh at others?"
Chen Guohua glared at them, then looked towards Zhao Mengyin and the others, and continued:
"You have also learned a lot of knowledge in college. I know all this, but you may not know yet what our Zhenhua Research Institute does, so I will tell you now."
"Foreigners say we can't create mushroom eggs, but I firmly believe that our scientific researchers can definitely create them, and within the next three to five years, not the eight years the country said."
"Why? Because what we Zhenhua Research Institute is doing now is to manufacture computers and computers with more powerful computing capabilities."
"As long as our Zhenhua Research Institute builds better computers, the scientific research team that creates mushroom eggs will be able to free up more scientific researchers to solve the technical problems of making mushroom eggs."
"So, just now you were wondering why you still want to study?"
"That's because none of you have ever been exposed to how to build computers before. Today is your first day at Zhenhua Research Institute, and I will teach you a lesson."
After these words, there was a buzz of discussion in the whole place.
For people like Zhao Mengyin, Shu Xingbei, and Jiang Quemin, computers are indeed a relatively unfamiliar thing.
Only a few people have heard of it, and most people are hearing it for the first time.
It's not that they don't read newspapers, it's just that no one will pay attention to things that they are not interested in.
For example, how could a tea egg seller pay attention to how satellites are launched?
"I want to ask you a question. If you want to build a faster computer, do you know what problem you need to solve?"
Upon hearing Chen Guohua's question, Zhao Mengyin and the others showed blank expressions.
Only a few dozen people responded sparsely with a few words, but none of them were correct answers.
Chen Guohua did not continue to talk about it, but directly announced the answer:
"What determines the computing speed of a computer is the central processing unit. As long as its performance is improved, the computing speed can be accelerated."
"So how to improve the performance of the central processor? This involves a lot of complex subject knowledge, which is the focus of what you need to learn next, and it is also the difficulty that our Zhenhua Research Institute needs to overcome."
At this time, outside the door, Qiu Zongyue came in with several people, and Ma Mingwei, the chief of the security department, was also beside him.
Therefore, Chen Guohua did not continue to preach chicken soup, but ended his speech in a hurry.
Anyway, that’s enough. It’s time for them to accept the baptism of knowledge.
"Leader, you are here. Haha, my eloquence is good, right?"
Arriving in front of Qiu Zongyue, Chen Guohua said with a smile.
After getting along for a long time, Chen Guohua gradually understood the other person's temperament.
Like most leaders, Qiu Zongyue is also a resolute leader who focuses on his career, listens to opinions, and is occasionally stubborn, but he is definitely a straightforward person.
Therefore, it is not a joke to get along with such a leader. Even if you get along easily, there is no big problem.
"Very good eloquence skills."
Qiu Zongyue was in a good mood and briefly chatted with Chen Guohua about the arrangements for these college students. Then he walked to the office and said to the latter:
"Leader Wu has emphasized the opinions you raised some time ago at the meeting."
Hearing what the other party mentioned, Chen Guohua couldn't help but nodded, indicating that he understood.
In fact, he knew it even if the other party didn't say it.
After all, it has rained from time to time in the capital during the past period. Although the weather is not always rainy, it has made the ground wet several times.
this point is very important.
Just because spring rain is as precious as oil!
Spring plowing is approaching in March, and many production teams have already started plowing the ground to prepare for the sowing of spring wheat.
In fact, during the recent period, almost all the stored rain-enhancing three-piece sets such as cigarette rods, shells and rockets have been used.
All inventories have been emptied, and the factory has also received many production tasks. Workers are working hard to complete the quota.
Anyway, before the end of spring plowing, the production of these cigarette rods and other rain-enhancing three-piece sets cannot stop.
The issue of preserving food production is the key point.
In addition, food is mobilized from other places, because there is not enough food in the capital.
The engineers from the north haven't left yet. What Chen Guohua knows is that around July or August this year, Helu, the bastard, will suddenly take everyone back without warning.
Of course, Helu said this in June last year.
But as of now, the two sides are still negotiating and negotiating, so they haven't made a clean break yet.
In fact, Chen Guohua knew that even after July and August, according to the original history, the mainland also spent a lot of money to import two thousand large trucks from the north.
These large trucks are used to transport grain. After all, the autumn harvest ends in September, and the grain transported back from foreign countries also needs to be allocated.
All the work was squeezed together, and the original transportation vehicles were simply not enough.
We can only import from foreign countries and then make do with it.
Today, there are still more than six million residents in the capital, which requires three billion catties of grain every year.
For example, last year in 1959, the capital sold 3 billion kilograms of grain. Except for the 300 million kilograms produced and sold locally in the capital, the remaining billion kilograms of grain were allocated from other places.
This year, it is estimated that billion will be allocated from other places. After all, the share of grain has been reduced.
Even so, food is still very tight.
The reason why Qiu Zongyue said this to Chen Guohua was not only because of the latter's own position, but also because he hoped that the other party could understand how difficult the country is now.
But even if it is so difficult, Chen Guohua's research work is supported by his superiors, and he hopes that he will not disappoint his expectations.
In addition to talking about these, Qiu Zongyue also brought good news.
That is, China Resources sold another 100,000 100-micron transistors. This time, although it only made half a million US dollars, it was enough to inspire people.
"Leader, does this count as the income of our Zhenhua Research Institute?"
When Chen Guohua heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up and he looked at the other party eagerly and asked.
Qiu Zongyue glared at him angrily, "Can you stop being so blind about money? How dare you stare at this money?"
"Boss, please be reasonable when you speak. Why don't I dare to stare? This is obviously the credit of our Zhenhua Research Institute, okay? How can you erase the fruits of our labor?"
Seeing what he said, Qiu Zongyuexu nodded and said:
"If you have the ability, tell the superiors and see if they will agree to it?"
"Okay, I won't give it if you don't give it, but when the time comes to sell fifty-micron transistors, you can't deny it anymore, right?"
As soon as these words came out, Qiu Zongyue was so angry that he was speechless.
After a long time, he snorted coldly and said:
"You are a money addict, why can't I explain it to you?"
"Anyway, the money belongs to our Zhenhua Research Institute, so it cannot be taken away. Leader, you must know that the next plan of our research institute will be very expensive."
Speaking of burning money, the Materials Research Institute is also burning money.
However, this scientific research institute has now become an embarrassing situation where grandma does not love and cares for her uncle.
Although Chen Guohua has not transferred many researchers from their Materials Research Institute, it is now March and they still have not made much progress.
It cannot be said that there is no progress, there is progress, but not much.
The wafer was cut out by them, but it got stuck during chip manufacturing.
The two methods left by Chen Guohua at that time were masking lithography and projection lithography.
Needless to say about the latter one, they couldn't even build a scanning electron microscope. To talk about projection lithography is to praise them.
The problem facing everyone with the masked photolithography method is that it is impossible to manually rub the chip.
To put it simply, the technology is not good and it sucks.
In the masked lithography technology left by Chen Guohua, chip engineers need to draw the integrated circuit layout with colored pencils on graph paper.
Then use a fine blade to connect the transistors and circuits with your bare hands on the photomask master, and carve them out bit by bit.
Of course, more delicate things like capacitors and resistors cannot be directly carved into them.
After you have the template pattern, you can use a camera, that is, a high-end SLR, to zoom in 50-100 times to move a photomask for photolithography.
However, it was such a photomask that stumped all the researchers at the Materials Research Institute.
This is how it is described in the technical information left by Chen Guohua, which is very clear.
However, in September last year, many things were not manufactured.
Without these things, how could Chen Guohua teach technicians step by step?
There's no way to teach it.
In addition to this difficulty, the photomask is subsequently placed on the silicon wafer. The mask is in direct contact with the photoresist coating, and then light is irradiated to complete the exposure.
The failure rate and cost of this part are very high, which is also the main reason why Chen Guohua abandoned this technology after he briefly explained it to everyone.
Qiu Zongyue also learned about these difficulties from Wang Shuying's report.
The more he knew about these difficulties, the more Qiu Zongyue expected Chen Guohua to give him a surprise.
In addition to chatting with Chen Guohua about these two things, Qiu Zongyue also talked about the retail price of fifty-micron transistors.
The reason for asking Chen Guohua has a lot to do with his previous suggestions and his own vision, and the most important point is his own scientific research strength.
If it were not supported by Chen Guohua's strong scientific research strength, no matter how many suggestions he put forward, it would still be a castle in the air.
After hearing the leader's inquiry, Chen Guohua pondered for a moment and said:
"My advice from the leader is to have a high price, the higher the better, and like last time, the minimum price is one thousand pieces, or ten thousand pieces."
"Can't we keep the same price as last time? When you say high price, what does it mean to be high price?"
Qiu Zongyue did not express his opinion, but continued to ask.
"Two hundred dollars a piece is not expensive, and five hundred dollars is not impossible. It depends on how the higher-ups arrange it. I'm just making a suggestion."
As soon as these words came out, Qiu Zongyue was immediately shocked.
Hey guys, five hundred dollars a piece?
How dare you think about it!
When the magnetic core board originally sold for $1,800, everyone thought it was a bit expensive.
It doesn't seem to be that valuable after all.
In comparison, magnetic core boards are much more complex and larger, so if they sell for $1,800 a piece, they are still justifiable.
It's a good thing now that Chen Guohua directly sells 50 micron transistors for 500 US dollars each. Will the capitalists cry when they hear this?
And how big is a fifty micron transistor?
Much smaller than a hair, he actually charged five hundred dollars. If Qiu Zongyue were Liu Guanzhong, he probably wouldn't know what to say.
Wenjin Street, this side of the Yamen office.
When Mr. Wu heard that it was five hundred dollars a piece, he was also stunned for a moment, then he laughed and said:
"This young comrade, Xiao Chen, really dares to think and do. The thinking of young people is really extraordinary."
I don’t know whether this sentence was a compliment or something else. Anyway, Qiu Zongyue laughed and said:
"I was shocked when I heard it before, but leader, do you know what he told me?" Before Mr. Wu could respond, he continued:
"Xiao Chen told me that what we earn is the money of those capitalists. Anyway, their money is also the profit obtained from exploiting workers. Instead of using this money to eat and drink and plunder the world's top resources, they also Why don’t you use it to improve our lives?”
This makes sense!
When Chen Guohua said this, he also thought of some extremely ironic social phenomena in his previous life.
For example, many advertisements, people around you, etc. will often tell you: save water, save electricity, everyone has a responsibility to protect the earth!
Good guy, there is nothing wrong with this.
After all, it would be great if everyone worked together to protect the environment, right?
In fact, this is not the case at all.
Those rich enjoy the world's top resources, such as top-quality caviar, white truffles, edible gold, etc., as well as private jets, private estates and villas, ultra-luxury sports cars, and so on.
Behind these resources, they can only be obtained based on the premise of wasting a lot of resources.
For example, white truffles are originally just ordinary mushrooms found in the mountains.
But after all the hype and the fact that it had to be flown to top restaurants around the world, the price skyrocketed.
But these are the resources it consumes, such as flying!
In the original time and space, the mainland had a population of billion, but the number of people who had ever flown was no more than 300 million, and the number of passport holders was only billion.
On the contrary, every time those top wealthy people take a private plane, they have to consume more energy than ordinary people may consume in their lifetime.
There is a saying that the two percent of the world's richest people consume 57% of the world's energy.
It is not difficult to see from here that it is not ordinary people who really need to save resources, but these rich people.
Of course, in his previous life, Chen Guohua didn't dare to waste resources?
Yes, I just don’t dare to waste it because I am poor.
He can't be like the Kardashians, who never turn off the faucet or turn off the lights at home.
If Chen Guohua dares to do this, the monthly electricity and water bills will make him feel so distressed that he can't breathe.
Also, every time he refuels, and has had the experience of changing cars several times, is he reluctant to change to a car with a larger displacement?
Bullshit, still poor, no money!
I don’t have the money to buy a car with a larger displacement because it’s expensive!
I also have no money to refuel, because when I step on the accelerator, it may not cost a few cents, but a few dollars.
Therefore, even if you spend your money to buy a car with a larger displacement, you still don’t dare to step on the accelerator.
As for private jets?
It's also suitable for sleeping in broad daylight, as you can dream about everything.
Chen Guohua did not know how the leadership made decisions, nor did he know when China Resources would start selling 50-micron transistors.
Today, as soon as he returned to work at Zhenhua Research Institute, he was stopped by someone.
"Director Chen, this is Professor Guan Zunongguan from the Institute of Advanced Chemical Materials in Beijing. He has been waiting for you here for half an hour."
Standing behind Ma Mingwei was a white-haired old man, also wearing a military uniform, but wearing elegant glasses. At a glance, he knew that he was not an ordinary soldier.
"Hello Professor Guan, please sit down for a moment and wait for me for a few minutes. I will be back soon."
When Chen Guohua heard this, he apologized.
When Guan Zunong heard this, he looked at the other party seriously and nodded slowly.
It’s been such a long wait anyway, so it doesn’t matter if you wait any longer.
After a while, Chen Guohua, who came back from the research room, said sorry again.
After a few polite words, Guan Zunong said:
"Director Chen, I am a quick-tempered person, so don't be surprised."
"No, no, I really didn't expect you to come to me so early in the morning. If I had known you came so early, I should have come earlier."
The two exchanged a few more polite words before getting down to business.
Guan Zunong came to see Chen Guohua today, naturally because last time Chen Guohua approached them at the Beijing Institute of Advanced Chemical Materials and requested the manufacture of a barium-tungsten composite hollow cathode source material.
This material is no ordinary material either, as it is one of the materials used to make ion sources.
Or to be more precise, it is the neutralizing source material in the neutralizer of the ion source that Chen Guohua wants to prepare.
Under normal circumstances, when the ion source ion beam is working, it needs to supplement electrons to neutralize the ion flow, which means a neutralizer is needed.
The neutralizing source used in this common neutralizer is actually tungsten wire.
However, the tungsten wire generally spans the outlet and will be quickly corroded by the impact of the ion beam, especially for reactive gases. It usually needs to be replaced in more than ten hours.
And tungsten wire will also cause certain pollution.
In order to solve the problem of short tungsten wire life, a long-lasting neutralizer is needed.
Therefore, a small hollow cathode source needs to be placed inside the neutralizer.
After all, Chen Guohua is not from a chemical material background. Although he has also prepared carbon fiber materials, these are two completely different fields.
That’s when I found the Beijing Institute of Advanced Chemical Materials.
Now Guan Zunong came over and told Chen Guohua that after carefully reading Chen Guohua's material requirements in their research institute, they were unable to complete the task.
Quite simply, they did not have the relevant equipment to complete such a chemical experiment.
"Professor Guan, what kind of equipment do you need? Let me see if I can help you coordinate it."
When Chen Guohua heard this, he suddenly became a little anxious.
Good guy, if he can't deal with this hollow cathode source, wouldn't his efforts be in vain?
If there is no ion source, he can still get a chip.
Of course, if there is no ion source, then he can also study chemical vapor deposition equipment.
But compared to chemical vapor deposition equipment, he still prefers to prepare ion implantation equipment.
Because the difficulty of the latter is obviously lower.
In other words, the latter was easier to prepare in the mainland in the 1960s.
Hearing this, Guan Zunong shook his head and smiled bitterly:
"Electricity alone consumes a lot of money. It's difficult."
Chen Guohua pondered for a moment and said, "Professor Guan, let's do this. Then we won't bother you. We at Zhenhua Research Institute will do it ourselves."
"Can you really complete it?" Guan Zunong asked in surprise after hearing this.
"Even if it can't be completed, we still have to give it a try. Otherwise, our Zhenhua Research Institute may go bankrupt."
With a wry smile, Chen Guohua laughed at himself, which actually made Guan Zunong embarrassed.
Chen Guohua reacted and quickly said with a smile:
"Professor Guan, I'm kidding you. The Zhenhua Research Institute will not close down yet, so don't feel any psychological burden. Encountering scientific research problems is inevitable."
After sending Guan Zunong out of the office in a good voice, Chen Guohua frowned.
Now if there is no hollow cathode source, then tungsten wire can only be used.
For pure tungsten wire, the burden on Zhenhua Research Institute is still quite heavy.
After all, no one can bear such visible consumption.
What's more, Zhenhua Research Institute is responsible for its own profits and losses, so it cannot do this.
In the next few days, Chen Guohua was looking for information, hoping to see if he could find relevant technical information and then replace or solve this problem.
From the information Guan Zunong brought back, we can know that the equipment currently available in the mainland is indeed too little.
Especially high-end equipment, there are almost none.
It's impossible for people from the north to really send it over. Things like ion sources are simply not available in the mainland.
In Cuihua Hutong, while having dinner that night, Yun Wanshang suddenly asked:
"Guohua, what have you been thinking about recently? I often see you distracted? Have you encountered any problems?"
Her words aroused everyone's attention and curiosity.
Chen Xiaoyue said immediately, "Yes, my eldest brother has been like this recently. He often doesn't respond when I call him. I need to call him three times and louder before he can hear me."
The third and youngest children, as well as Chen Yuanchao, also expressed their opinions and dissatisfaction.
It's probably not dissatisfaction, it just feels like Chen Guohua shouldn't be in this state.
Hearing Yun Wanshang's words, Chen Guohua came back to his senses and found that everyone was looking at him with concerned and worried eyes, and couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.
Immediately he said:
"Mom, don't worry, I did encounter a problem recently."
"This is a technical problem, which is a bit difficult. I want to find a simpler and more economical way, and then develop a new material."
"Don't worry, I will definitely be able to overcome this difficulty within three days."
After searching a lot of information, he also did a lot of calculations, and I believe it should be almost the same.
The synthesis of chemical materials, what chemical reactions will occur, what uncontrollable experiments are required, etc., all of these must be fully prepared before the experiment.
Seeing how confident he was, the family immediately stopped saying anything.
Three more days passed, and on this day, Chen Guohua finally found a solution.
Immediately, he went to the Wenjin Street Yamen, found Qiu Zongyue, and explained the situation to the latter.
"You need to apply for a workshop in the Beijing Iron and Steel Plant to complete a chemical test? Is it dangerous?"
When Qiu Zongyue heard this, his expression became serious.
After Chen Guohua once again stated his interests clearly, he said seriously that it would take time to coordinate.
It doesn't matter, Chen Guohua can wait.
At the Capital Steel Plant, Wang Zhaohui was a little confused when he received a call from his superiors.
What is Zhenhua Research Institute?
He cannot know the nature and level of a military industrial enterprise. Anyway, there are only two words: confidentiality!
And during the period of borrowing the factory, there will be troops there to block and isolate, and no workers will be allowed to approach.
That is to say, there is sufficient power at the Beijing Steel Plant, so it was chosen to be in such a place.
In addition to the Beijing Steel Plant, some of the equipment and eighth-level workers from BAIC Manufacturing Plant and other units have also been seconded.
When everything was ready, it was already three days later.
Three days passed. When Chen Guohua came to the door of the factory, there was no one within a radius of 300 meters.
There were officers and soldiers of the army patrolling all around. Even if Chen Guohua came, he would only be released after a routine inspection.
Other workers in the steel plant were filled with curiosity when they saw this scene.
Good guy, what is going on?
What research should be done?
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the steel plant was on holiday, because other boilers had to be shut down, and the power plant could only supply Chen Guohua's factory.
Inside the factory workshop, a group of researchers, senior technical workers, soldiers, etc. were all fully armed and looked at Chen Guohua with serious faces.
The latter didn't say much, because they were all told specific precautions before coming, so they all knew exactly what they should do and what they shouldn't do.
Several Grade 8 workers at the BAIC manufacturing plant at the scene saw Chen Guohua wearing a mask and protective clothing, but they still felt that he looked particularly familiar.
But the scene was so quiet, and the experiment was about to start, so no one had time to chat.
"One group, the equipment inspection is completed, please give instructions!"
"Group 2, the power generation is running well, please give instructions!"
"Group three, the raw materials are ready, please give instructions!"
The leaders of the three major groups passed the order. After hearing the words, Chen Guohua nodded.
"Test begins, start!"
Following his order, Qiu Zongyue, who was staying outside the factory, became a little nervous.
It doesn't matter whether the test is successful or not, the most important thing is that Chen Guohua is fine.
If Chen Guohua hadn't been stubborn and insisted on entering the factory instead of controlling it remotely from outside, Qiu Zongyue wouldn't have come to the scene.
However, there are twelve eighth-level workers inside the factory, as well as many researchers. They are also national treasures.
Therefore, let alone Chen Guohua, Qiu Zongyue would not want to see any mistakes made by anyone inside.
Beside Qiu Zongyue, in addition to soldiers, there are also medical staff on standby.
However, after two hours, the danger was over and they could go back.
The experiment was very successful and was completely a false alarm.
After learning the news, Qiu Zongyue breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's better that you are well prepared, otherwise, I might not even be able to keep my black gauze hat."
Chen Guohua, who was wearing a mask, smiled awkwardly when he heard this.
"Boss, you are serious in your words. I am just afraid of death, that's why I am like this."
"It's good to be afraid of death, it's good to be afraid of death."
As soon as Qiu Zongyue said it smoothly, he immediately felt something was wrong, and Chen Guohua was already laughing.
The scene was a little awkward for a while, and Qiu Zongyue could only smile helplessly, and then quickly changed the subject.
Regarding the barium-tungsten composite hollow cathode source material, it has come to an end now.
If necessary in the future, Chen Guohua will cooperate with the Beijing Steel Plant after improving the manufacturing process.
It can be regarded as compensation to the other party.
After all, with one more production line like this, their steel plant will gain more revenue.
A few more days passed, and it was now mid-to-late March.
In the Wudaokou laboratory of Zhenhua Research Institute, Chen Guohua looked at Ma Yunlu and others and said in a deep voice:
"Today we will start the preparation of the ion source. Everyone should be prepared and work hard. Also, if something happens, don't panic."
Everyone in the laboratory was all wearing protective clothing and medical masks. They looked fully armed, as if they were conducting some kind of biochemical experiment.
It's just that they are conducting an ion source preparation experiment.
Although everyone is already familiar with this technology, and the entire process is very clear.
But Chen Guohua has requirements, and everyone must still abide by them.
So, the experiment officially began.
Outside, Zheng Guiping listened to the class a little absent-mindedly because she was thinking about something.
It's been more than half a month, and she still hasn't made any progress. It's too difficult.
The entire Zhenhua Research Institute is strictly guarded. If a fly wants to fly out, it has to be inspected.
Otherwise, flying is prohibited.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, everyone in the experiment was a little frustrated because the experiment failed again.
"Okay, don't be discouraged, we will continue tomorrow."
Chen Guohua encouraged everyone and ended today's experiment. Go back and reflect carefully before continuing tomorrow.
The next day, everyone worked together and finally developed the first ion source.
After seeing the ion source, Chen Guohua was extremely happy.
The first one in Mainland China!
"Everyone will have a snack at noon, ten pieces of meat!"
The whole place suddenly burst into cheers. Ma Yunlu and the others all jumped up and down, applauding in celebration.
After coming out of the laboratory, Chen Guohua called Qiu Zongyue.
The latter was in the office at this time, listening to Wang Shuying's work report. When he heard the phone ringing, he picked it up.
"What? You really succeeded? Ion source equipment, right? Okay, okay, as long as it's successful, how much meat should you add this time?"
Qiu Zongyue was still in the mood to chat with Chen Guohua about meat, but he obviously didn't know what an ion source was.
On the contrary, Wang Shuying, who was opposite him, had more contact with the northwest side, so he suddenly became excited.
"Leader, you just said it was ion source equipment? Has it been developed?"
