Siheyuan: The Era of Struggle

Chapter 222 Yang Ning came to the door himself! (Subscribe)
Although there are fewer people in the data processing institute, we are currently carrying out too many research projects, which has resulted in a severe shortage of computing power. Therefore, data from some key confidential projects still need to be sent here for Yang Ning to process.

So, after Yang Ning returned to Sijiu City, apart from occasionally going to help Mr. Guo, the rest of his time was spent processing the data sent over by these confidential projects.

But after all, Room 107 at the Computing Center can already meet the current basic research needs, so Yang Ning suddenly found that he had more free time.

He only needs to spend a little time every day to process the data sent to him. As long as Mr. Guo doesn't call him over to help, he spends most of the day killing time in the office.

"I can't go on like this!" Yang Ning sat on a chair, holding a cup of tea, squinting his eyes and staring at the office door in a daze. He felt like he was suffocating to death when he was idle.

"You are so hypocritical. You don't even think about the blessing. If I were in the future, my current job status would definitely be a golden job!"

"The salary is high, there is a car and a house, and there is not much work to do. Unfortunately, I really can't stay idle!"

Thinking of this, Yang Ningti suddenly opened his eyes, put down the teacup in his hand, and shouted outside: "Zhao Yang!"

"Is there something wrong, leader?"

As soon as Yang Ning finished speaking, Zhao Yang pushed the door and walked in.

No matter how many people were transferred from the data processing institute, Zhao Yang, as Yang Ning's secretary, was never moved.

"Go ask Director Yang if we have any more information that needs to be processed?"

"Leader, there is only a little data every day. The Geological Institute and the Meteorological Institute send data every day. As long as other units do not encounter any complex calculation problems, they will send their data to the computing center now."

Geological surveys and meteorological research require processing a large amount of data almost every day. In order to save computing power at the computing center and ensure that research on other projects is not delayed, their data has always been handled by data processing.

In addition to these two fields, the only research units in the military industry that can send data to Yang Ning are those that require strict confidentiality.

However, these units do not have large amounts of data to process every day.

"Oh!" After hearing what Zhao Yang said, Yang Ning couldn't help but sigh, then stood up and walked out.

"Leader, where are you going?" Zhao Yang saw Yang Ning walking out without saying a word, so he hurriedly chased after him and asked.

"Go to the Semiconductor Research Institute!" Yang Ning said without turning his head.

"Oh, then wait for me, I'll go call a taxi!" After hearing Yang Ning's words, Zhao Yang hurried downstairs.

According to historical progress, the Semiconductor Research Institute would not have been established until the 60s.

But now, with the successful development of our 106 small transistor computer and 107 large computer, and also to solve the computing power problem, self-production of qualified transistors has become an urgent problem that needs to be solved.

So at the end of last year, a semiconductor research institute was established in advance to start preparing for the semiconductor industry.

This is also the reason why Ms. Lin was able to devote herself to research so quickly after returning.

What's more, before this, we had already obtained the production technology of Big Brother Semiconductor through technology exchange.

Although the technology is not very good, it is much better than having nothing and groping in the dark on our own.

Ms. Lin is now leading the entire semiconductor research project team to improve the technology of Big Brother Semiconductor. "Big Brother's semiconductor production equipment and technology are different from the technology I have been exposed to before. If we want to produce qualified silicon single crystals without dislocations, we need to improve all of Big Brother's production technologies."

"Ms. Lin, what do you think?"

"First of all, the fully enclosed design of the silicon single crystal furnace is definitely not acceptable. In a fully enclosed environment, the impurities produced after combustion cannot be discharged, which will definitely affect the purity of the silicon single crystal."

"I think this is also the reason why the performance of transistors produced by Big Brother is not as good as those in Western countries, so we first started by improving the silicon single crystal furnace to see how big the gate needs to be opened so that all the waste gas after the reaction can be discharged without affecting the combustion reaction, thereby improving the purity of the silicon single crystal."

When Yang Ning arrived at the Semiconductor Research Institute, he saw a heroic woman who was talking incessantly about her views.

Around her, a group of researchers in the semiconductor field were listening to her explanation attentively, and occasionally raised their own questions.

The table between them was covered with drawings and materials.

"Excuse me, is this Ms. Lin here?"

When they paused their discussion, Yang Ning walked in and asked politely.

"It's me. Who are you? What do you want from me?"

Just when everyone else was feeling unhappy about being disturbed by Yang Ning, the uninvited guest, Ms. Lin's eyes lit up when she saw Yang Ning standing at the door.

During the time I returned to China, Professor Xia, who is the only woman in our computer field, was of course visited by Ms. Lin.

From Professor Xia, she also heard that we actually have such a magical person like Yang Ning.

After learning Yang Ning's basic information, she has always hoped to meet Yang Ning.

Because of the semiconductor technology exchanged from Big Brother, Ms. Lin knew that these technologies needed major changes after looking at them.

However, the workload of improving the production technology in the entire semiconductor field is enormous. Just the improvement of a silicon single crystal furnace involves knowledge in the fields of mechanics and metallurgy, and even requires knowledge in the field of radio.

The biggest difficulty is that we don’t have a seed crystal at the moment.

Moreover, because Big Brother did not pay much attention to transistor technology before, the frequency of the high-frequency furnace they provided us just barely reached the melting point of silicon. If we want to produce silicon single crystals of qualified purity, a higher frequency furnace is needed.

The problem of seed crystal is easy to solve. Even if the semiconductor technology of Big Brother is not good, there is no problem in producing qualified seed crystal. It is just a matter of spending money to buy it.

However, the calculation problems required in the process of improving technology are what give Ms. Lin the most headache.

But now the computing center's computing power is already fully utilized. If we rely solely on the computing center to solve the computing problems in their technological improvements, it will probably take one or two years to produce our own qualified silicon single crystals.

But now, as our demand for computing power grows, we don’t have that long to keep them waiting.

She had originally been thinking about whether she should take some time to visit Yang Ning and ask him to help them solve their calculation problems if he was not busy. Unexpectedly, Yang Ning would come to her door himself.
