Siheyuan: The Era of Struggle

Chapter 223 Yang Ning's good intentions (Subscription required)
"You are Comrade Yang Ning, right?"

Although she had seen the photo in Yang Ning's profile before, Ms. Lin still asked cautiously.

There is no way around it, as our computer technology is now ahead of other countries.

As the only constraint on us, semiconductor technology has naturally attracted the attention of other countries. Therefore, in terms of importance, the Semiconductor Research Institute is no less important than the nuclear project and the missile project. Except for these two, even the dual-war aircraft projects that have just been established are not as important as the Semiconductor Research Institute.

"Yes! I am Yang Ning!" Yang Ning smiled and nodded in admission.

He understood that although Ms. Lin looked weak, she actually had a strong character. She was a typical Fujian woman who was gentle on the outside but strong on the inside.

It is said that when she was a child, her family did not agree to let her go to school because she was a girl. She actually expressed her protest by going on a hunger strike and almost starved to death before she won the opportunity to go to school.

Faced with such a strong-willed and extraordinary woman, Yang Ning knew too well how to deal with such a woman.

So Yang Ning didn't say anything polite, but asked directly: "I heard that Ms. Lin, you are busy researching our own semiconductor technology recently. I wonder if there is anything I can help with."

Faced with Yang Ning's direct approach, Ms. Lin was obviously stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I just encountered some computing difficulties in improving Big Brother's semiconductor technology. I was thinking that if the computing center is too busy, I will ask for help from your data processing institute."

Since returning to China, Ms. Lin has been faced with good boys who ask her for help every day. Although this is also a way for everyone to respect her, as a woman who has studied and lived in Eagle Sauce for almost ten years, this respect makes her feel a heavy mission and responsibility.

Unlike Mr. Qian and other men who have stronger ability to bear things, as a woman, this heavy responsibility is difficult for her to bear for a while.

Perhaps it was this heavy sense of responsibility that made this great lady devote herself to the semiconductor industry, resulting in her remaining single for the rest of her life.

However, Yang Ning was not too surprised. In later generations, he had seen many strong women who remained unmarried throughout their lives.

Seeing that Yang Ning was able to talk to her frankly at this time, Ms. Lin felt a lot more relieved.

Maybe she was under too much pressure during this period. Now that Yang Ning, a powerful helper, came to her door, Ms. Lin did not hesitate to be polite with him. She directly took out all the semiconductor technology information exchanged with Big Brother and discussed it with Yang Ning.

At this time, the other researchers were all listening to their discussion carefully, and some of them would express their opinions from time to time.

At this moment, Ms. Lin felt that the pressure on her was relieved a lot.

However, Yang Ning had no idea how to produce qualified silicon single crystals. Most of the time, Ms. Lin told him what kind of equipment and materials were needed to produce qualified silicon single crystals based on the technology shown in the drawings.

Based on her requirements, Yang Ning made certain modifications to Big Brother's technology.

By the time they got off work, they had roughly figured out the requirements for equipment and materials needed for semiconductor production.

In order to meet these requirements, almost all of Big Brother's equipment must be overhauled. Faced with this situation, Yang Ning feels that instead of improving Big Brother's semiconductor production technology, it is better for us to redesign the production equipment ourselves. After all, Big Brother's current semiconductor production technology is really not that good.

Even if we improve these production technologies and can barely produce qualified silicon single crystals, with the rapid development of semiconductor technology, these devices will soon become obsolete. It would be better for us to redesign better production equipment ourselves!

Although we are still far behind Big Brother in terms of industrial scale, in terms of industrial technology, after absorbing some of the technologies from World War II and our continuous innovation in these technologies, to be frank, we are now no worse than Big Brother.

Of course, this is only from the perspective of industrial technology. If we talk about the field of scientific research, we still have many blank areas that need support.

Yang Ning had never known what equipment and requirements were needed to produce semiconductors, so he had no idea where to start. Now, after Ms. Lin's explanation, he has understood the situation of semiconductor production equipment and believes that if he is given some time, he can design equipment that is more advanced than the big brother. Don't forget that Yang Ning studied mechanics in college, which is his main profession.

With his ability, designing semiconductor equipment that is more advanced than Big Brother is a piece of cake.

You have to know that in history, our 601 Institute, with just a few young people and a director of the Public Security Bureau, designed and produced our first single crystal silicon, and with their own efforts, in just one or two years, they solved our country's basic demand for single crystal silicon.

Of course, although the purity of the single crystal silicon they produced at that time met the requirements, they were all misaligned silicon single crystals, which were not of much help to Yang Ning's subsequent development of integrated circuits.

"Ms. Lin, could you write down the equipment and requirements you need and give it to me? I'll go back and think about it and see if I can help you solve these problems?"

Before leaving, Yang Ning asked Ms. Lin.

"Of course, no problem. We're more than happy to have you help us with this!"

Ms. Lin then took out a piece of paper and wrote down her equipment requirements for the production of monocrystalline silicon.

Yang Ning could clearly feel that Ms. Lin had become full of energy and spirit.

Since leaving the semiconductor research laboratory, Yang Ning has become busy again.

He spends three or four hours every day processing data sent by other units. The rest of the time, unless Mr. Guo calls him, he writes and draws in the office.

After more than half a month of hard work, combined with our current industrial level, Yang Ning finally designed the semiconductor equipment required by Ms. Lin.

In fact, the most important equipment for producing silicon single crystals is the high-frequency furnace for melting silicon and the final straightening equipment.

In order to ensure the stability of the final pulling and to ensure the future mass production of qualified silicon single crystals, Yang Ning even combined the control principles of CNC machine tools and designed a control system specifically for this equipment.

"Zhao Yang, send this blueprint to Director Yang and ask him to arrange production as soon as possible. The Semiconductor Research Institute is waiting for it urgently."

Yang Ning discovered that as the work at the data processing institute gradually became less and less, Uncle Yang seemed to have entered retirement mode early. How could this be possible?

Yang Ning felt uncomfortable seeing others having a more leisurely life than himself, so he had to find something for them to do.

From now on, let him be in charge of the external liaison work of the Data Processing Institute.

"You're right. You can't stand seeing others having some free time!" When Uncle Yang saw the work Yang Ning assigned to him, he put down the teacup in his hand helplessly and said with a smile.

However, although he said this, Zhao Yang saw that the moment he took the design drawings, the decisive Director Yang seemed to have returned.

At this moment, he finally understood Yang Ning's good intentions and knew why he was not allowed to arrange these matters.

As Yang Ning's secretary, he can also represent Yang Ning to a certain extent and has the right to ask relevant units to cooperate.
