Siheyuan: The Era of Struggle

Chapter 181 Mr. Guo Returns to China (Subscription Request)

Let Yang Ning use transistors to design the circuit diagram of the computer. Even if his knowledge in this area is only that of an ordinary person in the future, it is definitely enough in the era when transistor computers have just appeared.

But asking him to manufacture transistors was a bit difficult for him. This knowledge would not be useful in later generations, so he did not pay attention to it.

Now he can’t access it in the country, which makes him very confused.

Don’t think that the technology is insignificant just because the first transistor was built by the Shockley trio.

Although there were only three of them on the surface, they had the full support of Bell Labs. Not to mention that the transistor at that time was not very practical, otherwise the original transistor Big Brother would have said it was an unserious thing at first sight.

Apart from knowing that the material used to make the crystal is silicon or germanium, Yang Ning knows nothing else.

Moreover, making this thing is different from traditional metal smelting. It cannot be figured out by collecting data through repeated experiments.

After leaving Mr. Hua's office, Yang Ning planned to put this matter aside for the time being.

If he can buy qualified transistors, he will cooperate with Professor Xia's research. If he can't buy them, he will wait until Mr. Lin comes back.

Although he didn't know how to manufacture transistors, as long as Mr. Lin specified what kind of equipment was needed, Yang Ning would be able to solve this problem.

Anyway, at the current stage, the short-term production of transistors does not require high-precision equipment such as photolithography machines.

"Yang Ning, I was just looking for you, are you free now?"

When Yang Ning walked past Mr. Qian's house, he happened to meet Mr. Qian coming downstairs, accompanied by his wife, Ms. Jiang.

"Mr. Qian, you know I have nothing to do after get off work, so is there anything I can help you with?"

Seeing that Mr. Qian and Ms. Jiang were both dressed very formally, Yang Ning asked in confusion.

"That's great. Go back and change your clothes. I'll introduce you to a true genius later! Do you remember what I told you a few days ago?"

Mr. Qian had a happy look on his face at this time, and he looked at Yang Ning and said with a smile.

Suddenly, Yang Ning remembered that Mr. Qian had told him before that his fellow student, Mr. Guo, who was also very talented, had returned to China.

If we ask which scientist's accidental death during this period caused the greatest regret in later generations, Mr. Guo would definitely be the first choice for many people.

Like Mr. Qian, Mr. Guo was also a student of von Karman. Although he started studying with von Karman relatively late and was Mr. Qian's junior, he was actually a few years older than Mr. Qian.

He not only had profound attainments in aerodynamics, but also made great contributions in explosion mechanics, thermonuclear physics, and rockets and satellites.

It's just a pity that he died in a plane crash. Even at the last moment of his life, he still used his body to protect an important research material for us...

Mr. Qian saw that Yang Ning was lost in thought, with a hint of regret in his expression, so he asked with concern.

"Why, are you feeling unwell?"

Everyone who knows Yang Ning is aware of his physical condition. Although he has a big appetite and exercises regularly, he usually looks full of energy.

But you can't let him be too busy or too idle, otherwise he will always cause you some unexpected events.

However, compared to other people in his situation, Yang Ning did not have any defects in other aspects, which was a blessing in disguise. "No!" Hearing Mr. Qian's words, Yang Ning quickly came back to his senses. He was almost reacting to this sentence.

God knows what's going on. He usually pays attention to physical exercise, but who would have thought that his body would have problems from time to time.

It’s only been a few days since the last incident. If problems arise again, Yang Ning will start to wonder if he’s going to die.

"That's good!" Mr. Qian breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Yang Ning was in good health.

"Alright, are you done yet? Since we are going to take Yang Ning and his wife to Mr. Guo's place later, let them go back and get ready. How long are you going to keep them talking?"

At this time, Ms. Jiang walked up to Yang Ning and smiled. Finally, she reminded her: "Don't forget to bring Yinghong with you. I am also going to introduce her to a good sister!"

"Got it. Please wait for a moment, we will be there soon."

After saying that, Yang Ning hurried home.

"Why did you come back in such a hurry today?" After Yang Ning returned home, Hu Yinghong was just preparing to cook dinner. Seeing Yang Ning rushing back, she asked in confusion.

"I just ran into Mr. Qian and Ms. Jiang downstairs. They said they wanted to take us to visit a friend. We need to pack up now and leave right away."

After putting down the bag, Yang Ning said something to Hu Yinghong and went into the house to change clothes.

"Sister Jiang is going too?" Hu Yinghong asked loudly.

"Yes! It might be Mr. Qian's fellow student Mr. Guo who has returned to China." Yang Ning replied from inside the house.

"Then is it appropriate for us to go together?" Hu Yinghong walked in and asked.

"What's inappropriate? Believe it or not, if I really go to visit Mr. Guo, Mr. Qian might blame him for not taking me with him this time."

Yang Ning said with a hint of pride.

It's no wonder that Yang Ning said so. As far as he knows, the first thing Mr. Qian did when Mr. Guo returned to China was to show off to him our development over the years, and he also revealed Yang Ning's abilities to him.

As a scientist, Mr. Guo understood too well the importance of having someone like Yang Ning for scientific research, so he couldn't wait to rush to Sijiu City just to see Yang Ning in person.

"De Xing, what does Mr. Qian's visit to his classmates have to do with you?" Hu Yinghong rolled her eyes at Yang Ning's arrogant look and said with disdain.

Yang Ning didn't explain, but just asked her to pack up quickly so as not to waste other people's time.

"Where is the second monster?" After Yang Ning finished cleaning up, he realized that the second monster was still missing, so he asked.

"When Erguai got out of school, his mother came over and took him back." Hu Yinghong came out at this time, looking much more energetic than before.

"Mom didn't say anything?" Yang Ning was surprised. Why did his mother take the second monster back at this time?
"I think you've been confused. Didn't I tell you before that tomorrow, Sunday, is the day Damao and Dani are getting engaged?"

"You said you were busy this week, so I came to ask if we had anything to bring, and to pick up the weirdo."

Hu Yinghong felt both angry and distressed when she saw his confused look.
