Rebirth in 1960, My Industrial Age

Chapter 182 Results Report, Leadership Assault (Subscription Request)
"Mr. Zhou, is this done?"

In the integrated circuit workshop, after the last process was completed, a technician couldn't help but ask.

Before Zhou Fengnian could speak, another person spoke up: "It's just made, but whether it works or not still needs to be tested. Engineer Zhou, can I test it?"

"Okay, be careful on that path."

Zhou Fengnian reminded that this was the first medium-scale integration they had produced, and as long as it passed the test, they could submit a report to their superiors.

You can also update the CNC system of the machine tool to improve some performance.

However, medium-scale integration is still a little bit lacking, and large-scale integration is the entry threshold to the computer age.

It will be soon. If this medium-scale integrated chip is successfully produced, China will be overtaking others and will soon catch up with the research and development progress of foreigners.

Zhou Fengnian is at this bend. He is responsible for providing success, and after manufacturing, he allows the relevant technical personnel to slowly understand it and implement overtaking measures.

It didn’t take long to test the medium-scale integrated chip. The performance passed and there were no problems in other aspects.

The technicians in the workshop cheered excitedly.

"Mr. Zhou, we succeeded. We have made a medium-scale integrated chip!"

"Great job, Mr. Zhou, you finished it so quickly!"

All the technicians left their posts and came to Zhou Fengnian to celebrate and cheer; there were not many people in the integrated circuit workshop now, and they were all about the same age.

Everyone got along well with each other, and the quarrels were only due to different opinions; but after asking Zhou Fengnian, the quarrels disappeared.

There were two people who were older than Zhou Fengnian and they respected him because Zhou Fengnian's knowledge and ability were indeed far beyond theirs.

The knowledge they learned from Zhou Fengnian alone is more than what they learned in college, so they are definitely qualified to call Zhou Fengnian teacher.

"Everyone, the successful manufacturing of medium-scale integrated chips is definitely something worth celebrating. After get off work tonight, I will personally pay for everyone to have a meal in the cafeteria."

Zhou Fengnian said that fortunately there were only a dozen people in this workshop, and the factory's small kitchen did not require tickets, and most of the purchases were outside the purchaser's plan.

You can eat very well with only 80 cents per person. Zhou Fengnian did some calculations in his mind and decided to spend one dollar per person.

"Okay, long live Mr. Zhou"

"Hey, Liu Sihai, if you keep saying that, you will be the one to clean up the workshop from now on!"

Zhou Fengnian hurriedly stopped him and said that saying "Long live the emperor" did not mean that he had lived too long.

Liu Sihai quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, Mr. Zhou, I was a little excited. I haven't had a good meal in a while!"

"Forget it, just be careful next time. You guys can eat whatever you want tonight, I'll make the arrangements later."

Zhou Fengnian reminded him, "However, the medium-scale integrated chip is only a cornerstone. We still have to apply it to various aspects. I will have to trouble you next."

Medium-sized computers, color televisions, radios with more advanced functions, and even the fully automatic washing machines developed previously can be upgraded again.

Many electrical appliances can use medium-scale integrated chips!
However, Zhou Fengnian did not have that much energy. He planned to make a medium-sized computer in the integrated circuit workshop next, and make samples of other electrical appliances, and then hand them over to the leaders above to arrange production.

It is impossible for Zhou Fengnian to supervise so many factories by himself. Even a medium-sized computer will take a long time to produce. The project was launched at the end of this month and it will be manufactured by the end of the year.

After returning to the office, Zhou Fengnian first called the logistics director and asked him if he could arrange a small table for dinner tonight and he would pay for it himself.

Qi Weimin, the logistics manager, agreed immediately and said that there would definitely be enough ingredients. The purchasing department has worked very hard recently and there are a lot of unplanned ingredients in the warehouse.

There is no cook. The chef of a canteen is still doing labor reform in the workshop. Today is the third to last day.

In two days I can go back to the kitchen.

The chef of the second canteen had already returned to the kitchen after working for seven days, but was caught and forced to work again because he brought a lunch box. He is now with the moving team.

When He Yuzhu was investigated by the Security Department, it was Zhou Fengnian who gave him a greeting.

He is generous to different people. He has nothing to do with He Yuzhu and even accuses him of corruption behind his back. If Zhou Fengnian is more generous, he would be considered weak and easy to bully.

Therefore, the warning he gave to the security department was enough to prevent He Yuzhu from taking a single grain of rice out of the factory.

If you eat in the kitchen, you really can't control it, but if you want to take it home? You will be caught every time you bring it home, and then sent to work moving steel.

After hearing what Director Qi said, Zhou Fengnian said, "Tell Master Zhou about this. I'll ask for a small cooking class after get off work and ask Master Zhou to work overtime."

[Okay, then Deputy Director Zhou, I'll have someone notify Master Zhou.]

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Fengnian continued to improve his report on the application and prospects of medium-scale integrated chips.

He had written a lot in advance before, and this time he was almost done.

After submitting the report, Zhou Fengnian wanted to continue hiring people; however, he also knew that there were too few talented people in this area, and if he hired more people, he might be transferred to a research institute under the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

There are a lot of people there, so they can definitely be satisfied, but they have less autonomy.

dong dong!

"Come in."

As soon as Zhou Fengnian finished speaking, Pan Heng pushed the door open and asked, "Leader, Deputy Director Ma has something to ask you."

"Please let Deputy Director Ma in."

After Zhou Fengnian finished speaking, he put down his pen, then opened the drawer and took out some high-end tea. When Deputy Director Ma came in, he was putting the tea leaves in and pouring water.

"Deputy Director Ma, you seldom come to my place. You should try the tea I brought back from the minister last time. The director always asks for a cup every time he comes. He has almost finished it all."

"Really? Then I have to taste it carefully today."

Deputy Director Ma took the teacup with a smile, smelled it and nodded. It was much more fragrant than the ones he bought outside.

"Deputy Director Zhou, are there any conflicts between the two chefs in the cafeteria?"

"I guess so. It has something to do with me. Zhou Weitian from the First Canteen is my eldest brother. He has loved me since I was a child. Last time, I heard Master He from the Second Canteen saying bad things about me, and I got anxious and started a fight."

Zhou Fengnian sighed and said, "I didn't ask the security department to give me face. I have already punished him."

"I heard about it, but Deputy Director Zhou, you have to give me some face and let Chef Zhou go back to the kitchen. I was planning to entertain a small group of guests tomorrow, but the chef I wanted to eat the most was not here. I only found out about this after asking around."

Deputy Factory Director Ma's words were very reassuring, and he continued, "I've also heard that Master Zhou acted on impulse, and was given a warning, and had to pay for his medical expenses and make amends. That's enough, and there's no need for him to go to the workshop to work."

"Then I'll listen to you, Deputy Director Ma."

Zhou Fengnian did not insist. He accepted the offer after the other party gave him a way out. After all, he was his elder brother, so how could he really be so ruthless and ask him to work for fifteen days?

"Haha, then I'll go back and make arrangements. Chef Zhou's cooking skills have been getting better and better recently. Tomorrow's special meal will definitely make our friends from the brother unit happy."

Deputy Director Ma smiled and said, "I'll take the tea. Deputy Director Zhou, it's rare to drink such good tea."

"Come to my place if you want to drink"

Zhou Fengnian smiled as he sent Deputy Director Ma away, and then continued to work on the report on medium-scale integrated chips. Before leaving work, Zhou Fengnian went to the canteen to pay for the small kitchen. Director Liu took it and smiled as he said that everything had been arranged, and he started cooking as soon as he got off work.

After coming out of the cafeteria, Zhou Fengnian went to the integrated circuit workshop and saw that the people in the workshop did not relax because of their success and continued to be busy manufacturing more medium-scale integrated chips.

"Comrades, don't work overtime today. Pack up and follow me to the cafeteria."

Zhou Fengnian clapped his hands and made the announcement, and then everyone else finished their work for the day with a smile on their faces, finishing up what needed to be finished.

After finishing everything, Zhou Fengnian locked the workshop door and took them to the cafeteria.

The technicians in the integrated circuit workshop have been working really hard recently, and they are quite like the people in the technical department who were developing the five-axis machine tools.

It is normal to work overtime until ten o'clock, and their accommodation is arranged nearby. If they go back late, there is basically no other danger except being questioned by the night defense team.

Arriving at the cafeteria box, Zhou Fengnian and the technicians from the integrated circuit workshop discussed while waiting for the dishes to be served.

Next, they have to start applying medium-scale integrated chips in all aspects, which is also Zhou Fengnian’s next task.

Medium-scale computers are the next top priority, and Zhou Fengnian does not intend to waste time on this.

He already knew the detailed manufacturing process of the medium-scale computer, and all he had to do was to manufacture it in the integrated circuit workshop by the end of the year.

Then they will immediately start research on large-scale integrated chips, which will usher in the era of personal computers.

While there was a heated discussion in the box, the dishes from the small kitchen were served one by one.

Knowing that it was his third brother who was treating them, Zhou Weitian tried his best to show all his skills.

Even the presentation of the dishes was done with great care.

In fact, no matter how casually the dish is presented, the aroma of the dish alone is enough to make the technicians in the box drool.

They are quite casual about their meals and don’t care what they eat normally. They rarely eat such good food.

"Let's eat, comrades. Eat well today, and continue to devote ourselves to research tomorrow."

"Thank you, Mr. Zhou."

After everyone said this, they stretched out their chopsticks and quickly picked up the food on the table.

Fifteen dishes for fifteen people, eight meat dishes, six vegetable dishes and one soup, plus plenty of steamed buns made from two grains of flour. After the meal, there was nothing left on the table, even the soup base was drunk up.

After the meal, Zhou Fengnian told them to have a good rest when they returned, and then they dispersed and went home.

The next day, the First Ministry of Machine Building Industry.

dong dong.

Secretary Liu knocked on the door twice, and after hearing the echo from inside, he pushed the door open and walked in with a document.

"Leader, this is a document that Deputy Director Zhou Fengnian of Huaxia Machine Tool Factory sent to me through his assistant."

"Hey, this kid didn't even come here in person when he saw that I had no tea leaves. Let me take a look."

Deputy Leader Li took the document with a smile, opened it and started reading it.

Medium-scale integrated chip. It looked familiar. He must have seen it somewhere. However, after reading some technical descriptions, Deputy Leader Li determined that this was his blind spot and went straight to the summary at the end.

Medium-scale computers, color TVs, air conditioners. Seeing that medium-scale integrated chips can be used in so many aspects, Deputy Leader Li suddenly remembered where he had seen them.

"Isn't this what the leaders discussed with the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building and the Institute of Electronics? Has the project to be vigorously developed been completed?"

Deputy Leader Li read it carefully twice again and confirmed that the research and development was completed. He then asked Secretary Liu to find the documents from the previous meeting of the leaders.

After the comparison, Deputy Leader Li directly called Secretary Liu in: "Xiao Liu, make some arrangements. I want to go to the Huaxia Machine Tool Factory."

"Now? Leader."

"Yes, right now."

"Then I'll go inform the driver."

After hearing this, Secretary Liu turned around to make arrangements. After a while, the driver drove the car and waited downstairs.

After Deputy Leader Li put the work on hand on hold and postponed other meetings, he went downstairs, got in the car and set off.

This time we came to the machine tool factory without notifying anyone, so it was a surprise attack.

After arriving at the gate of the machine tool factory, Secretary Liu got out of the car, showed his ID and explained his purpose, which surprised the security department and allowed them to come in.

They didn't receive any notification that the leader was coming.

I wanted to inform the factory leaders, but Secretary Liu waved his hand and said, "No need to notify others in a big way. Just call Deputy Factory Director Zhou Fengnian and explain it."

After hearing this, the security guard at the gate immediately called Deputy Director Zhou's office, but it took a long time before someone answered.

However, the person who answered the phone was not Zhou Fengnian, but his assistant Pan Heng.

After explaining the situation, Pan Heng quickly informed Deputy Director Zhou that he had gone to the workshop, and he immediately went downstairs to pick him up.

When Deputy Leader Li's car arrived at the front door of the factory office building, Pan Heng also got off and said to Deputy Leader Li, "Leader, Deputy Director Zhou should be in the integrated circuit workshop now. Should I go and call Deputy Director Zhou back?"

Deputy Director Li asked, "No, can I go to the integrated circuit workshop?"

Pan Heng thought for a moment and said, "I haven't seen anyone else go in, not even Director Gao, so I'm not sure."

"Then let's go take a look first."

After Deputy Leader Li finished speaking, he asked Pan Heng to take them to the integrated circuit workshop.

After arriving at the workshop gate, Pan Heng stepped forward and rang the bell to inform the leaders that they were coming; after learning the news in the workshop, Zhou Fengnian quickly rushed out.

Zhou Fengnian came out and said with a smile: "Leader, you came here quite suddenly today."

"You suddenly gave me a big surprise, so I must change it to another big surprise. I wonder if there is any more surprise."

Zhou Fengnian took a look and said jokingly: "If you come empty-handed, there will definitely be nothing."

Deputy Leader Li scolded with a smile, "You kid, you're not going to do anything until you see the rabbit. I'll give you half of the tea quota next month. But you drink too much. Drink less strong tea. You're still young."

Zhou Fengnian quickly said: "I didn't drink much, most of it was given to my father."

"Hahaha, I didn't expect you would get robbed too."

Deputy Leader Li joked for a while, then got down to business and asked, "Let's not talk about other things first. The medium-scale integrated chip you submitted today should have been manufactured in here, right? Can I go in and take a look?"

"No, this won't work!"
